PROPOSAL: Implicit conversions of integer literals to floating

[so]

I am not sure if it is that good.
Say you want to make a generic vector class that accepts both integer and  
float values.
This might seem trivial, well it is but it gets very ugly. You are going  
to need cast on each literal!
Using C (non-generic) literal system in a generic language IMHO is very  
ugly even with the existence of implicit casting.
