Comment:

 Ah no, the original code is correct:

 We require mixed arithmetic between the floating point type and all
 builtin arithmetic types as part of our conceptual requirements, so 1 + a
 is always supported.

 The cast is there in case the type of "a" uses expression templates (ie 1
 + a returns a type other than the type of "a").
