  :body: "If <em>aNumeric</em> is the same type as <em>num</em>, returns an array containing <em>aNumeric</em> and <em>num</em>. Otherwise, returns an array with both <em>aNumeric</em> and <em>num</em> represented as <tt>Float</tt> objects. This coercion mechanism is used by Ruby to handle mixed-type numeric operations: it is intended to find a compatible common type between the two operands of the operator."
