> If you tell me specific bugs in Complex PMC, I will try to fix them, but
it sounds like people just want Complex out of core.
The hyperbolic-arc-transcendentals return incorrect values. This was only
discovered when a GCI student tried to increase code coverage.
> Are we kicking Complex out of core because it is does not belong, or
because it currently is buggy?
IMHO it doesn't belong, and being buggy is a symptom.
Parrot does a lot of things and does some of them poorly. Being a numerics
library is in this category. Let's do fewer things and do them better.
> If Complex leaves the nest, it would seem that Parrot-Data-Structures is
a good place for it to live.
