Agreed that this doesn't seem appropriate for bugfix releases.

We might also want to consider having PyComplex_AsCComplex check for
__float__, again for consistency with the 'complex' constructor:

>>> class A(object):
...     def __float__(self):
...         return 42.0
...
>>> a = A()
>>> float(a)
42.0
>>> complex(a)
(42+0j)
