Follow-up Comment #1, bug #51143 (project octave):
Yes, for mixed single/double operations is both operands are converted to
single. I thought that was compatible behavior. If instead the computation
is performed in double and then the result is converted to single, then we
should probably define mixed-type operators and eliminate the "demotion"
functions that are currently defined. It should not be too hard with
templates, but some care will be needed to ensure that all cases are covered
consistently.
