OK, I think the same. BUT! In other words myClass.s.i1 is already in
heap, yes? Now - what is boxing? Boxing is creating special packed
version of value-type in heap. In our case i1 ALREADY in heap. So...
object o = myClass.s.i1; //_not_ a boxing here?
???

Yes, it's boxed. You are not storing the myClass.s.il variable in the object, you are storing a copy of the value of the myClass.s.il variable.
