True, but the question is how best to decide whether the
programmer wants to do integer maths.

Deciding based on the types of the operands is okay in a
statically typed language. But it's asking for trouble in
a dynamically-typed language, especially where it's common
practice to use ints as a substitute for floats that
happen to have integer values.

EIBTI in this case.
