I'm really glad of your effort producing Viperi. Perhaps , I'd even
become a Viperi user some day. Specially it's worth the effort of
providing a better Garbage collector,...

But I don't like this kind of C-like short expresions, and furthermore
it seems that you give the Integer a new Object life, but then
you start treatign them like Integers again or worse , like pointers.

x.inc() would be more acceptable.
