Re: [Pharo-project] Complex neurotic

What I would love is the following: that we get a good Complex package! Since we can do method extensions in Smalltalk we can design a really nice Complex > packages with its own tests. We could publish for now Complex into PharoTaskForces or create a PharoExternalPackages or whatever.
If you point me to the package docs, I am happy to make a package. Note that the Complex cuts across a number of classes [Point,Float,Number,Object]. Is the desired behavior that (-1 sqrt) raise and exception when the Complex package is not loaded but return 1i when loaded? I presume that we could simply add the hyperbolic trig functions (and some tests) to Float? -KenD
Ken, The desired behavior appears to be that -1 sqrt raises an error regardless of the complex package; -1 asComplex sqrt works when the package is installed. Sig, is that a fair statement of your position?

Ken,

Right. The presence of Complex numbers should not change any existing behavior of non-complex numbers.
