The answer has existed in the Pen and paper world for along time, cross
genre gaming systems. IMO the two that have handled thsi the best are
related Hero (yes my personal favorite as you probably realize by now) and
its child Fuzion.
I'd recommend anyone intrested in this subecjt check out thopse 2 systems.
GURPS is another, but GURPS mroe clsoely fits the "new core for every
genre" catagory then the generic genre-less game system.
