Of course they are popular because these are the type names. There is no type L; it’s an object. I don’t understand why we have to use different names just because they are used in other namespaces. This is not a C define. They stand for JVM signatures as well as basic types. The letters are signature letters. Can we move on from this?

Sure. Push it.
