[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60859] sparse matrix problem with float

[John W. Eaton]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #60859 (project octave):

Operations like addition with mixed double/single arguments do produce single
results, but indexed assignment of single to double leaves the result as
double and doesn't generate a warning.  So the behavior is consistent with
what Octave and Matlab already do for full matrices.  Indexed assignment of
{u,}int{8,16,32,64} values to single and double arrays is also allowed without
changing the type of the LHS, and the same is true for all mixed integer
assignments.

I think Matlab also allows assignment of integers to sparse arrays but I
didn't add those operations in my changeset.
