Thank you Kyle. It seems to work. So now does someone have an example
of it failing on some number that is real?

{{{
CC(60).imag()
///
0.000000000000000
}}}

{{{
CC(pi).imag()
///
0.000000000000000
}}}

{{{
CC(sqrt(2)).imag()
///
0.000000000000000
}}}

{{{
CC(-90 + i).imag()
///
1.00000000000000
}}}

{{{
CC(-90).imag()
///
0.000000000000000
}}}
