When will type conversions get smarter?

Short math notation, casting, clarity of math expressions

I was thinking about eliminating @floatFromInt and allowing automatic coercion of integers to floats, while still requiring @intFromFloat to go the other way. This would also apply when mixing float and int operations (resulting in floating point values). Rationale here is that pretty much all floating point operations are understood to round, so an explicit cast is redundant. On the other hand, there’s an argument to be made against this. While it does not require a cast to coerce a f32 to f6…
