Not sure who's confused, but my reading of the above is not some sort of
"mixing": I believe Mitch is just saying that his addition operation
(for example) can be specified to operate on either one of int8, uint8,
int16, uint16, ...
But that specification applies to all inputs and outputs of the
instruction, so it does not support adding an int8 to an int32, or other
"mixes".
