I could continue.. but i and Wilhelm already stated multiple times, why we think its a wrong way of doing things. I am all hands for having a good Complex support to Pharo, Squeak & smalltalk in general, but just do it in non-intrusive way. I don't want to be peevish here, but things like:
Note that there is no attempt to change oddities of Smalltalk syntax. E.g. (3 + 1/2i) --> (0 - 2i) NOT (3 + (1/2)i)
indicating that Ken don't realizing completely what is Smalltalk. I don't understand why man, who defending the consistency of math capabilities, on other side seems against consistency of syntax , language, class hierarchy & putting in danger all code which using math functions written so far. Smalltalk is not MatLab nor Lisp/Scheme. I fell sorry, that my arguments seem were not convincing to Ken. 2009/8/18 Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr>:

Greetings,
I have done a brief write up of Complex issues that most concern me and opened ISSUE 1072: OverlyComplex.
 http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1072
Note that there are to be three proposals:  removeComplex  [Issue OverlyComplex]  basicComplex  extendedComplex
SLICE-remove-Complex, the first of the three changesets, has been added to PharoInbox as per  http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/HowToContribute
I logged on to Pharo's Google Wiki but fail to see how to add a topic/page. Can some kind soul help me out?
Again, I am new to your processes, so any help/suggestions/info are welcomed.
Thanks much, -KenD
