I've always disliked make-immediate-object. Really it serves the purpose of disambiguating a few overloaded values in lisp. I'd like to deprecate it in favor of specific constants for java-true, java-false and null-pointer (the latter is already available as function).

Unless anyone speaks up against this, I will make this change to the Java API.

After introducing the constants +NULL+, +TRUE+, and +FALSE+ for the corresponding primitives types wrapped in JAVA_OBJECT, I have as threatened [marked MAKE-IMMEDIATE-OBJECT as deprecated][r13359].
