Primitive return types clash

[melezov]

There will be problems whenever two methods are proxied under the same name with colliding primitive return types...

For instance:

parse(s: String): Long parse(s: String): Int

Will not work since compiler likes to promote Byte > Short > Int > Long

Currently, the only sane solution is to use boxed versions of primitives whenever a clash seems possible:

parse(s: String): java.lang.Long parse(s: String): java.lang.Integer

This seems like a show stopper for the primitive return type overriding, unless you only use primitive types which don't clash. ProxyKwai should detect when clashing primitive return types occur, and perform/advise on boxing...

To be continued...
