FWIW, my viewpoint on this is softening over time and I no longer feel a need to push for a new context flag.

It is probably simplest for users if implicit coercions didn't come with control knobs.  We already have Fraction+float-->float occurring without any exceptions or warnings, and nothing bad has happened as a result.

I agree with this; I'd be happy to avoid the control knobs.
