And what's wrong with requiring the user to be unambiguous by specifying
a type? It's unlikely there will be a lot of calls with all literals
(unless generated by some program) so it shouldn't be onerous. And
"Float'(1.0)" is clearer to the person reading the code five years
from now than "Color_F".
