What features are likely to land in Kotlin 1.3 Milestone 1 (improved bit fiddling/byte handling?) ❔

[napperley]

Guessing that value types could be included (https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/commit/7421780609ca681d28fcf551e6ec7fff38dbd6ba). Hopefully that will solve the problem with Byte returning a incorrect Int (via toInt function): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38651192/how-to-correctly-handle-byte-values-greater-than-127-in-kotlin 🙏

@napperley What do you mean by value types in that commit? I was thinking structs à la Swift, but I only saw work on coroutines and unsigned numerics from the scanning I did

[napperley]

Thought that the unsigned types were value types. Then again looked at the commit too hastily.
