Description Gael Guennebaud 2012-08-22 11:09:37 UTC 
Currently, mat/scalar or mat/=scalar are optimized as mat*(1/scalar) and mat *= (1/scalar) for non integer scalar types. This might result in invalid result in some borderline cases, as in:

Proposal: remove this optimization and leave it to the user.
