Under the proposed behavior, depending on the dtype of x and the value from random, this would sometimes add-with-rollover and sometimes raise ValueError. Under the 1.5 behavior, it would always add-with-rollover and preserve the type of x. Under the 1.6 behavior, it produces a range of dtypes, each of which is at least large enough to hold the random int. Personally, I prefer the third option, but I strongly prefer either the second or the third to the first.
