Some array API implementations are more lenient in the dtypes they allow for certain operations - e.g. sum can be used on arrays of bool (with return type int64). The array API doesn't rule out this behaviour - it's just not a part of the spec.

This is needed to improve Xarray integration, see cubed-dev/cubed-xarray#8
