: This might be even more "Complex" than that - what if Complex can be
: reduced? Should it? for instance:
:
: my Complex $c = 3+4i;
: my Complex $d = 4i;
: my $plain = $c / $d;
:
: Does $plain (which is actually '3' after reducing) get promoted to Complex,
: or does the result from the division get demoted?
I wish you guys would quit confusing variables with values. As an
unmarked variable, $plain can hold a Complex just as easily as any
other type. Now, if you'd said
my num $plain = $c / $d;
that would be more like the situation you're thinking of.
