[PD] [*] vs [*~]

I have some newbie questions here...

why is it that [*] is only for floats, whereas if you want to multiply two 
signals one has to use [*~] ?

And then why is it that [*~] can multiply a signal by a float, but [*] 
can't do that?

And then why is it that [*~] can't multiply a float by a signal, the 
signal has to be on the left? Why is it that if I want to divide a float 
by a signal, then I have to explicitly cast the float to signal (using 
[sig~]) or use [expr~] ?
