But the int(c) is a downgrade -- it would require losing all
information that the item was an element of the complex plain...
>>> r = 0.0
>>> c = 0 + 0j
>>> r
0.0
>>> c
0j
>>> complex(r) == c
True
>>>
Maybe some language exists that considers "c" to be a downgradable
match to "r" (it may even be some language I've used -- but never had to
consider the condition prior). Note that in the above, the representation
of "c" doesn't even display a real component!
