Notes
This fixes issue 644, which is that the type of the left hand operand is used in a binary operation, even though the larger operand type should be used in the case of integer types.
A better approach would be to insert an explicit cast from the smaller type to the larger type, as noted here. However, the current PR's approach is easier and works, as far as I know.
