Yes, I agree on the return method, but it's quite unreasonable to left-out
basic types without any built-in library for encapsulation (ie
java.lang.whatever), it's like if you've been left to develop your own
routines for addition, substraction, multiplication, etc. Who cares? When
I'm developing a project I don't want to waste my time on developing some
things that I assume normal-to-have... It's something that should be
provided by some library... I think :)
