indeed, it is an clearly bad thing to do -- but a bug magnet? I'm not so 
sure, surely, anyone that had any idea at all what they were doing with 
complex numbers would notice it right away.

To the OP: Did you waste any time thinking this was working right? Or 
was your time spent figuring out why numpy wold do such a thing? which 
is wasted time none the less.
