I think what Jussi is saying is that int+int yields int, and
float*float yields float, and so on - but even that is true only of
the arithmetic operators, and not all of them (int/int -> float in
Py3). But generalizing from "arithmetic operators" to "ordinary
operators" is a little unfair, unless you assume that the sole purpose
of programming is to represent algebra.
