Primitive Type Members

You can invoke methods on primitive values such as c.isUpper. These include mathematical methods such as x.round, x.round(decimals), a.min(b), x.sin, x.truncate, etc. (If you are already familiar with the CLR's base class library, these methods are derived from the shared/static methods on the respective types.)

You can also invoke methods on primitive types such as decimal.parse(s).

Some additional examples can be found in the test code.
