@ottobackwards Yeah, that was my concern too. The suggestion I made was
based around the Java spec
(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se8/html/jls-5.html#jls-5.6.2 as
@justinleet linked earlier). This is intended to make it follow the rule of
least surprise (I think ;). In your example, Long + Float should be Float by
my suggestion.
