More valueOf methods for primitives

In the normal standard library, there is Integer.valueOf(String) and the same for the other primitives. These should be added to the JVML-JIT standard library.

We have these already don't we? What primitive classes don't we have this for?

We don't have the ones that take a string.

[ElvishJerricco]

Oh! Gotcha.

Yeah, would be really nice to have these. Just a small thing I ran into. Reason? Peripheral.call returns objects...

[ElvishJerricco]

Well yea it has to. But I don't see how that's related. It returns Integer objects for ints, Double objects for doubles, etc. Just cast to the appropriate type.

right, but still.. what happens if i want to parse an int from cmd?
also, what happens if its a double/float? could they be mixed up?

[ElvishJerricco]

Well Peripheral.call does intelligently choose between Integer and Double. Anyway yea these methods would be nice to have. I'll look into it

alrighty, great. also, if yevano happens to see this can you hop on ts?

i need help. too long without yielding from peripheral:74 ... super confused
