Perhaps Ada universal arithmetic is the answer to your needs. The
code for Universal_Integer_Arithmetic and Universal_Rea{_Arithmetic
are presented by Gerry Fisher in Ada Letters May, June 1984
pgs 6.30-6.47.
I remember seeing some Fisher programs where all of the
computing was done at elaboration time using universal
math and the executable body was "null;". Thats one way
to make the program get a universal answer but in your case
for a more general solution the programmer should be able
to declare objects of type Universal_integer etc. Hope this helps.
