Sure, I don't even understand why it's possible to operate with int
and double, but not with different classes of int (after all, if
doubles are automatically to int in these operations, why not other
ints too?).

Sure again, but as far as I can tell, MATLAB-compatibility is one of
the goals of Octave. I don't think Octave behavior is "bad" at all, I
was just curious because it's different to MATLAB.

If the behavior is intended, maybe the operation could raise a
warning, saying that it is not MATLAB compatible (as other operations
do).
