It could, but just a precision check seemed enough at the time. The patch also went thru many iterations and it was only the final version that operand_check_p() ended up with types as the parameter rather than ranges. You bring up a good point tho. I just switched those routines to call range_compatible_p() and checked it in. Now it is all centralized in the one routine going forward. It does seem wrong that the float precision don't match, and weird that its hard to fix :-) It should now be possible to have range_compatible_p check the underlying mode for floats rather than the precision... If there's a good argument for it, and you want to give that a shot...
