Needed due to JuliaLang/julia#17398.

For Julia 0.3, which lacks promote_op, the definition is questionable. Maybe better only provide promote_eltype_op for Julia 0.4?

I wouldn't worry all that much about 0.3. Only a few packages are actively tagging new versions that support it. We haven't formally done so yet, but I anticipate "freezing" metadata for new package tags that support Julia 0.3 shortly after 0.5 comes out, though with a possibility for exceptions on a case-by-case basis. So the minimal thing you're doing here for now seems fine to me.
