public final class _ObjectWrappers {
    /**
     * Kind of a dummy {@link ObjectWrapper} used at places where the internal code earlier used the
     * {@link ObjectWrapper#DEFAULT_WRAPPER} singleton, because it wasn't supposed to wrap/unwrap anything with it;
     * never use this {@link ObjectWrapper} in situations where values of arbitrary types need to be wrapped!
     * The typical situation is that we are using {@link SimpleSequence}, or {@link SimpleHash}, which always has an
     * {@link ObjectWrapper} field, even if we don't care in the given situation, and so we didn't set it explicitly.
     * The concern with the old way is that the {@link ObjectWrapper} set in the {@link Configuration} is possibly
     * more restrictive than the default, so if the template author can somehow make FreeMarker wrap something with the
     * default {@link ObjectWrapper}, then we got a security problem. So we try not to have that around, if possible.
     * The obvious fix, and the better engineering would be just use a {@link TemplateSequenceModel} or
     * {@link TemplateHashModelEx2} implementation at those places, which doesn't have an {@link ObjectWrapper} (and
     * doesn't have the overhead of said implementations either). But, some user code might casts the values it
     * receives (as directive argument for example) to {@link SimpleSequence} or {@link SimpleHash}, instead of to
     * {@link TemplateSequenceModel} or {@link TemplateHashModelEx2}. Such user code is wrong, but still, if it worked
     * so far fine (especially as sequence/hash literals are implemented by these "Simple" classes), it's better if it
     * keeps working when they upgrade to 2.3.30. Such user code will be still out of luck if it also tries to add items
     * which are not handled by {@link SimpleObjectWrapper}, but such abuse is even more unlikely, and this is how far
     * we could go with this backward compatibility hack.
     *
     * @since 2.3.30
