   I think `result_scale` is min(38, 20 + 38  + 1) = 38?
   
   Hmm, for the described case,  isn't `mul_pow` equal to 58 (`38 - (0 - 20)`)? 
As I assume s1, s2 are original scales of lhs, rhs arrays.
   
   > The issue is that the coercion logic will scale the right hand side to 
5e20 requiring it to also scale the left hand side to 10e40 which will overflow
   
   So scaling the left hand side to 10e58 won't overflow? Am I missing any 
point here?
