Having such type have an immediate positive effect -- it will significantly reduce the size of the F & O spec. I realize that there might be different interpretations -- what I propose is not a common base type (that probably is not possible to "insert" in the type hierarchy), but just a convenient "union" of all numeric types. I tried to look for problems that this would create -- couldn't find any. Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev.
