There are no unsigned types which leads to extremely ugly bit
manipulation codes.

Primitive types are now effectively deprecated in Java, and this is
likely a deprecation which will actually lead to a removal – unlike
everything else in Java that has been deprecated which is still there.

Sun did one time actually remove something from a Java release but there
was such an outcry that it got put back in. Sadly it should never have
been taken out in the first place. Unlike all the stuff that has been
deprecated for >10 years which should have gone long ago.
