But you wouldn't type "3"+3, you would type something like B3+3 and B3
happens to contain "3" at some point. I don't think such kind of exlicit
conversions by aplications are the way to go, I strongly doubt that you
can keep them transparent for the user and it may end up causing more
confusion than that it solves.

Cheers,
