+<em>all</em> arguments, if <em>any</em> argument is a cdata number.<br>
+
+For all other operations, only the first argument is used to determine
+the output type. This implies that a cdata number as a shift count for
+shifts and rotates is accepted, but that alone does <em>not</em> cause
+a cdata number output.
