The C<1i> and C<-1i> numbers can be also written
respectively, C<i> and C<-i>, so the previous example
could be rewritten:

my $z = 2.3 + i;

OK. So, what does this print?

sub i {return 40}

my $z = 2.3 + i;
print "z:$z\n";

Presumably, C<i> is a keyword and it would be an error to say "sub i".

Why would C<i> be a keyword?  Its not in perl5, and I don't
remember any discussion where non-real numbers would
be part of the core language.
