Elementwise maximum, NaN-PROPAGATING: a NaN in either operand yields NaN (use [`ops::fmax`](./fmax.md#fmax) for the NaN-ignoring IEEE law). Broadcasts and promotes as [`add`](./add.md#add).

**Returns:** the broadcast-shaped maxima.

**Throws**

- `ClikaRT::Error`: (`INVALID_ARGUMENT`) when the operand shapes are not broadcast-compatible.
