The description of the "new behaviour" should change then. The part
that
says "...which doesn't cause data loss" is now false, given Seth's
example.
It says that the floating point *constant* (in Seth's example: 24.0)
is converted to the lowest precision that does not cause data loss. It
does not say that the resulting calculation will have the same
precision as before. In fact, the "effect" part says exactly the
opposite.
