 * This demo demonstrates why using Object is not safe. It's not safe because runtime casting can cause runtime
 * exceptions. We should always fail as soon as possible. So in this code we should not allow setting String
 * value at compile time, if we expect to work with integers.
 * <p>
 * todo: refactor class {@link Box} to make type parameterization safe and make this demo fail at compile time
