By reading a comment: Â "Not defined on Complex numbers" i wonder why implementation is different than following: ...
How about this wording:
"Mathematically, complex numbers are a superset of the real numbers.  Complex numbers with a zero imaginary part ARE real numbers and  should behave as such.  That the #< selector is part of the Complex  class is an artifact of the current implementation.  There is no agreed  upon model for < comparison for complex numbers in general."
Better?
Way more better! That will certainly help others (those who not following current discussions) to understand why it is there and why it behaves so. Thanks Ken.
