IMHO the assignment of a literal to a string class (String s =

On the other side, it seems that String s = <literal> is treated like
a primitive assignment, but... it stills a class :)
I do not see the point at all.
In Java you can assign one ref to another ref (if the types
are assignable).
String s is a ref to a String.
"Hello" is a ref to a string.
It seems very obvious to me that:
- they can be assigned
- it is the exact same thing as all other assignments
