So it's procedural rather than deliberate/designed.=C2=A0 It's not = hard to
cope with
still I'd vote to correct it -- one of those things where a look ahead =
could
sorta say that if the lvalue is float, then all subsequent arithmetic
will be
float.=C2=A0 Or not worth the trouble, it's easy enough to work around.=

The behavior of zsh in this regard is = consistent with C and all languages inspired by it (C++, Java, C# and many,= many others). This is really working as intended.
