     * in which other parts of a program continue to use the original

     * value of this field.

     *

     * <p>If the underlying field is of a primitive type, an unwrapping

     * conversion is attempted to convert the new value to a value of

     * a primitive type.  If this attempt fails, the method throws an

     * field is initialized if it has not already been initialized.

     *

     * <p>The field is set to the possibly unwrapped and widened new value.
