I don't remember for certain, but my recollection is that Ada 83 always
implicitly converts the leaves of an expression tree; that is operations on
universal types are only used for named numbers, operands of type
conversions and the like. I don't think Ada 95 changed this significantly
(the way the rules are presented was changed a lot, but that's not
particularly important). I remember hearing the exact evaluation saw as
well, but I don't think it was ever true other than in very limited cases.
Randy (who did write an Ada 83 compiler).
