Description
Would it make sense to implement promote_eltype in this package for the LinearAlgebra and SparseArrays types. I see many functions of the ArrayInterface API are already implemented for such types.
This would be helpful for MutableArithmetics which is currently trying to do it but is only doing it for Symmetric, Transpose, Adjoint and sparse arrays. See https://github.com/jump-dev/MutableArithmetics.jl/pull/205

Research direction
The issue names no file or test; begin by reviewing ArrayInterface's existing implementations and the linked MutableArithmetics PR #205. Determine which LinearAlgebra and SparseArrays types should be covered, then verify promote_eltype behavior for the agreed scope with appropriate test coverage.
