Bug description:  Division not always returns float

Description:
------------
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php

"The division operator ("/") returns a float value anytime, even if the
two operands are integers (or strings that get converted to integers)."

Anytime like 'always' or 'it might be possible the division operator
returns a float, even if the operands are integers'?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo gettype(10/2);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
float

Actual result:
--------------
integer
