There is one way you could shoe-horn this in.  EvalFuncs can implement 
funcToArgMapping, which is built to allow functions to pick a different 
instance of themselves for different types (e.g. SUM(long) vs SUM(double)).  
You could implement your logic in this function and then return an EvalFunc 
with or without Algebraic implemented based on your choice.
