Sure, but the Integer doesn't have any idea what kind of literal it was 
created from. Thus making a distinction between decimal and hexadecimal 
numbers as far as Integers are concerned is entirely pointless.
Also the integer that gets returned by the hex method was certainly not 
created from any kind of literal, so calling that one a decimal number makes 
even less sense.
