"...we already have implicit conversion in Ada for numeric literals." (Jeff)

I know, and that was the 'precedent' for my proposal. And I'm familiar with the 'nightmare' of generalised implicit conversion (in C). But this could be tamed in Ada by defining the effect scope of pragma Implicit_Conversion to be the immediately enclosing block.

Or a family of such pragmas for fine control of the effect:

  Implicit_Conversion_Down_From_Here
  Implicit_Conversion_Up_To_The_Next_Enclosing_Block
  Implicit_Conversion_All_Over

However I am not totally confortable with *pragmas* for this class of effect. Is their precedence?
