title: Scala Long - Object?
body: <p>The Scala-Lang <a href="http://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/Long.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">docs</a> say:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Long, a 64-bit signed integer (equivalent to Java's long primitive type) is a subtype of scala.AnyVal. Instances of Long are not represented by an object in the underlying runtime system.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Java has a <code>long</code> (primitive) and <code>Long</code> (boxed).</p>
  
  <p>Does Scala have a<code>boxed</code> version of this primitive?</p>
