[moving this to unbury it]
My only question here, and I may be out of my depth, is does this
functionality match the behavior of java itself? Or other languages? Would the
result of operations on mixed types be consistent (rule of least surprise)? For
example:
Float + Long = Float
Long + Float = Long
Hopefully this makes sense
