This table just screams "use S7" (or S4, but I'd really rather not):

Table "Arithmetic precision and coercion" of arithmetic methods from ?"bit64-package". It shows how two different classes of inputs are handled & what type of output to expect.

Ideally we can make this work within {bit64}, but might need exploration as a {bit647} exploratory package first.
