Description
I'm seeing some strange typing when multiplying StaticArrays and UniformScaling. Is all of this expected?
N = 2
typeof(rand(SMatrix{N,N}) * I) # SMatrix{N, N}
typeof(rand(SMatrix{N,N}) * I(N)) # Matrix
typeof(rand(SVector{N}) * I) # Matrix
typeof(I * rand(SVector{N})) # SVector{N}
typeof(rand(SVector{N}) * I(1)) # Matrix
typeof(I(N) * rand(SVector{N})) # SizedVector{N}
Should all these be outputs <: StaticArray?
If not, what is the rule for expected output type of these operations?

Research direction
Reproduce the six Julia expressions involving StaticArrays and UniformScaling, recording each resulting type. Read the existing multiplication and type-promotion behavior, then establish the intended rule for these combinations; done means the expected outputs are agreed and the behavior or documentation is updated accordingly.
