 * @class OSNumber
 *
 * @abstract
 * OSNumber wraps an integer value in a C++ object
 * for use in Libkern collections.
 *
 * @discussion
 * OSNumber represents an integer of 8, 16, 32, or 64 bits
 * as a Libkern C++ object.
 * OSNumber objects are mutable: you can add to or set their values.
 *
 * <b>Use Restrictions</b>
 *
 * With very few exceptions in the I/O Kit, all Libkern-based C++
 * classes, functions, and macros are <b>unsafe</b>
 * to use in a primary interrupt context.
 * Consult the I/O Kit documentation related to primary interrupts 
 * for more information.
 *
 * OSNumber provides no concurrency protection;
 * it's up to the usage context to provide any protection necessary.
 * Some portions of the I/O Kit, such as
 * @link //apple_ref/doc/class/IORegistryEntry IORegistryEntry@/link,
 * handle synchronization via defined member functions for setting
 * properties.
