I don't like the name ReferenceTo as it actually is not a reference (but a copy, at least for anything except objects).

[ ] WrapperOf - because it's a wrapper around another value (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_wrapper_class)
[x] BoxedIn - via wrappers _box_ing and unboxing (thanks @mikey179)
[ ] ValueOf - since we're accepting values (see also http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/value-classes.html) but might be confused with ValueObject above
[ ] AnyValue - since we're accepting anything - kind of like AnyVal in Scala
[ ] Go back to Identity (derived from the identity monad)
