This is a first step towards resolving #225. The MR fixes the - unary prefix and the --/++ postfix operators to manually handle all types instead.

See #70. I think that adding an explicit float and double should get fairly high priority, since the current way (of just putting everything in there as doubles) is extremely messed up, to be honest.

While working on #227, I noted that there are many different permutations of operations (>, <, <=, >= and so forth) and types where we only had test coverage of the int + int scenarios. It's much better to try and (as far as is reasonably possible) cover all supported combinations of types, especially if/when we start handling these manually instead of letting dynamic work it out for us.
