Then the question remains why the multiplication results in Num if it multiplies with an integerIt's merely a matter that such things require addition of three extra operators per operation (e.g. Duration * Duration, Duration * Num, Num * Duration). Custom operators were added for common operations, such as addition, but rarer ones were omitted. For example, you can subtract two Instants, since we commonly do {now - INIT now} but there's no operator to subtract an Instant from an arbitrary number.There's *, /, div, and mod just for basic math. If we count Duration and Instant only that's 24 extra operators to write, debug, maintain, and most importantly compile and load on program start. Since in rarer use cases for which there isn't currently an operator the programmer can simply coerce the value to anything they want, it makes sense to not create custom operators for every imaginable case. For those reasons, I'm rejecting this ticket.
Hi Zoffix, I understand completely, thanks for looking into it. Marcel
