Well, now you are exhibiting the IMHO regrettable tendency that the more mathematical LWers exhibit of putting way too much focus on incompleteness uncomputability and other negative results that have negligible chance of actually manifesting unless you are specifically looking for pathological cases or negative results.

I use second-order logic all the time. Will work fine for this purpose.
