So despite what the docs say, it seems the two types need to be the same for the
sum to work?

I was going by what the spec said.

While this program compiles:


package main
import ("fmt")
func main() {
     var x byte = 10;
     var y int = 1000;
     z1 := int(x) + y
     fmt.Println(z1)
     z2 := x + byte(y)
     fmt.Println(z2)
}

Note the casts.
