floating_point_promotion

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

template <class T> using floating_point_promotion_t = typename floating_point_promotion<T>::type; // C++11 and above

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.
