Let's say we restrict it to the types Int and Double. Is an automatic conversion at least in this case possible?

You could try wheeling out Haskell's Least Used Keyword: module Defs where default(Double, Int) n = 3 -- This is defaulted to Double x = 12.3 test = ceiling (x / n) Other than that, I only know an answer that starts with "Design and implement a language extension for ...", sorry.
