I was asking because there are specific warnings for MATLAB
incompatibilities in other operations, but not when mixing ints and singles.

Sure. But try this

 octave:1> warning on
 octave:2> a = "Hello";
 warning: potential Matlab compatibility problem: " used as string delimiter

If those operations are not MATLAB compatible (and I insist, I am
totally fine with that :), why does not Octave show a warning about
the incompatibility with MATLAB like in the example I show?

In any case, I was asking because I am not totally sure if the
behavior with int and single is intended or not (if it is, why not mix
integers of different classes too?).
