I think the current state of affairs is fairly good. Adding
implicit conversions would make it worst. What would probably
make it better (but can't be changed now) is having two
distinct operators, one for integer division and one with
implicit floating point conversions.
python3 uses / for floating point division and // for integer. I
really like the distinction, although I would prefer if / was
disallowed on integer operands entirely, i.e. 3/2.0 is ok but 3/2
is not, that would be an error and you'd have to do 3 // 2
