That's fine by me.  The various strict modes haven't had a lot of  
testing, so you might find some issues there, but they probably  
aren't used very much.

I'm pretty sure I implemented everything from the traditional complex

I think Gavin might have used these last fall (I vaguely remember him  
having the sqrt() trouble and my suggesting he try it out).  Perhaps  
he has some experience he could share.
