Description

Triton has a nice section on type promotion. We currently only implement explicit casting using .astype. If/when we move to automatic promotion we should document it like the Triton folks. (We don't require manual broadcastTo so I guess we shouldn't require astype.)

Research direction

Start with the linked Triton type-promotion section and review TensorLib's current explicit .astype behavior. Confirm whether automatic promotion has been implemented; done means documenting the supported promotion rules and whether users still need astype, including the stated broadcast behavior.
