Aside: How can you get `<E>' to be `<int>' or `<float>'? Is that
something new? I'm still on Java 8, but the JLS for 14 says "Seq<int>
is illegal, as primitive types cannot be type arguments." (4.5)
Anyhow, could you use `CalcValueGeneric<E extends Comparable<E>>'
(double-check my syntax)? That would at least handle Integer/Integer
and Float/Float, though it wouldn't help with Integer/Float.
