I found that, tried it, and got sick of saying "0 asComplex" in about
two minutes. Someone must have been there before; Number currently
accepts an #argument message, and answers 0 or pi according to sign.
I think everything that knows its modulus and argument should know its
real and imaginary parts.
I like the syntactic pun by which Number accepts a message #i.
