Expressions with mixed types including low-level types

[Geoffrey Broadwell]

How is casting and coersion handled with expressions involving mixed low
and high level types?

For example, what is the output of this?

my Int $ten = 10;
my int4 $a = 0;
my int4 $b;

$b = ($a + 2.4 * $ten) / 4;
say $b;

The answers to the above questions may alter my view on the proper
handling of overflow during casting/coersion.

And for those who think the above code is too easy -- and I can see at
least 1, 2, 5, and 6 as defensible answers -- try 2.8 instead of 2.4.

I think either 5 or 6 is correct. See the recent S09 update.
