// promote_scalar_arg is an helper used in operation between an expression and a scalar, like:

// Its role is to determine how the type T of the scalar operand should be promoted given the scalar type ExprScalar of the given expression.
// The IsSupported template parameter must be provided by the caller as: internal::has_ReturnType<ScalarBinaryOpTraits<ExprScalar,T,op> >::value using the proper order for ExprScalar and T.
// Then the logic is as follows:
//  - if the operation is natively supported as defined by IsSupported, then the scalar type is not promoted, and T is returned.
//  - otherwise, NumTraits<ExprScalar>::Literal is returned if T is implicitly convertible to NumTraits<ExprScalar>::Literal AND that this does not imply a float to integer conversion.
//  - otherwise, ExprScalar is returned if T is implicitly convertible to ExprScalar AND that this does not imply a float to integer conversion.
//  - In all other cases, the promoted type is not defined, and the respective operation is thus invalid and not available (SFINAE).

/** \class ScalarBinaryOpTraits
  * \ingroup Core_Module
  *
  * \brief Determines whether the given binary operation of two numeric types is allowed and what the scalar return type is.
  *
  * This class permits to control the scalar return type of any binary operation performed on two different scalar types through (partial) template specializations.
  *
  * For instance, let \c U1, \c U2 and \c U3 be three user defined scalar types for which most operations between instances of \c U1 and \c U2 returns an \c U3.
  * You can let %Eigen knows that by defining:
    \code
    template<typename BinaryOp>
    struct ScalarBinaryOpTraits<U1,U2,BinaryOp> { typedef U3 ReturnType;  };
    template<typename BinaryOp>
    struct ScalarBinaryOpTraits<U2,U1,BinaryOp> { typedef U3 ReturnType;  };
    \endcode
  * You can then explicitly disable some particular operations to get more explicit error messages:
    \code
    template<>
    struct ScalarBinaryOpTraits<U1,U2,internal::scalar_max_op<U1,U2> > {};
    \endcode
  * Or customize the return type for individual operation:
    \code
    template<>
    struct ScalarBinaryOpTraits<U1,U2,internal::scalar_sum_op<U1,U2> > { typedef U1 ReturnType; };
    \endcode
  *
  * By default, the following generic combinations are supported:
  <table class="manual">
  <tr><th>ScalarA</th><th>ScalarB</th><th>BinaryOp</th><th>ReturnType</th><th>Note</th></tr>
  <tr            ><td>\c T </td><td>\c T </td><td>\c * </td><td>\c T </td><td></td></tr>
  <tr class="alt"><td>\c NumTraits<T>::Real </td><td>\c T </td><td>\c * </td><td>\c T </td><td>Only if \c NumTraits<T>::IsComplex </td></tr>
  <tr            ><td>\c T </td><td>\c NumTraits<T>::Real </td><td>\c * </td><td>\c T </td><td>Only if \c NumTraits<T>::IsComplex </td></tr>
  </table>
