That just raises the question of how do complex numbers compare?
Usually based on magnitude alone.
That's why I said the results would be equivalent to the length of
a point approach. You assume that any point on the same sperical
locus is equal. At least on my engineering course :-)
I confess I haven't tried it to see if Python implements cmp for
the complex type.

TypeError: no ordering relation is defined for complex numbers
Apparently not! :-/
