### floating_point_promotion

    template <class T>
    struct floating_point_promotion
    {
       typedef see-below type;
    };

type: If floating point promotion can be applied to an rvalue of type `T`, then applies floating point promotion to `T` and keeps cv-qualifiers of `T`, otherwise leaves `T` unchanged.
