Hi,
I have just written a proposal to addresses issues with assigning integer values to
unsigned, signed, real literals to ufixed, sfixed, and float, and vice-versa. Obviously
with some constraints.   You will find it here:
http://www.eda-twiki.org/cgi-bin/view.cgi/P1076/ImplicitConversionNumeric

This borrows thoughts and requirements from:
http://www.eda-twiki.org/cgi-bin/view.cgi/P1076/FunctionsKnowOutputSubtype
   http://www.eda-twiki.org/cgi-bin/view.cgi/P1076/OverloadAssignment
   and observations/frustrations about usage of type integer and real in assignments and expressions.

Cheers,
Jim
