Well, as in Decimal, it would be a good operator to use for canonization. Let's say you implement complex numbers as an angle and radius. Then, unary plus could be used to normalize the angle to +/- Pi and the radius to a positive number (by inverting the angle). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
