 * - Literals use raw lexeme (no contextual widening)
 * - Integer casts only from IrCastExpression (not inferred from expectedType)
 * - Binary ops: int op int = int, double op anything = double (C# semantics)

/**
 * Emit a binary operator expression as CSharpExpressionAst
 *
 * NEW NUMERIC SPEC: No contextual type propagation for numeric literals.
 * Literals use their raw lexeme - C# will naturally handle int + int = int,
 * int + double = double, etc.
 *
 * Explicit casts come from IrCastExpression nodes (generated by type-checker
 * when user intent allows int -> double coercion).
 *
 * STRING INDEXER FIX: In C#, string[int] returns char, not string.
 * When comparing a string indexer result with a single-character string literal,
 * we emit the string as a char literal to avoid CS0019 (char == string).
 *
 * @param expr - The binary expression
 * @param context - Emitter context
 * @param _expectedType - Currently unused
