Agree, but "increases the likelihood" != "guarantees". For example, relying on nan propagation is a fine strategy for the floating point case, but will not work for integer types. Similarly code relying on wrap on overflow will fail when type=float.
The best solution would be to autogenerate test cases so that all types are tested where appropriate.
