My preference would be against auto-promotion too, but I don't feel 
strongly on it. However, at this point I'd be *very* surprised if we're 
still using (in Rakudo) the Integer/Float PMCs for our Int/Num types 
after the meta-model replacement lands. Not that the change wouldn't 
potentially cause us issues if it lands before the meta-model 
refactor... :-)

Thanks,
