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