: This might be even more "Complex" than that - what if Complex can be
: reduced? Should it? for instance:
: 
: my Complex $c = 3+4i;
: my Complex $d = 4i;
: my $plain = $c / $d;
: 
: Does $plain (which is actually '3' after reducing) get promoted to Complex,
: or does the result from the division get demoted?

I wish you guys would quit confusing variables with values.  As an
unmarked variable, $plain can hold a Complex just as easily as any
other type.  Now, if you'd said

    my num $plain = $c / $d;

that would be more like the situation you're thinking of.
