Comment (by eviatarbach):
Yes, but I don't think it should work with `parent` as `int` or `Integer`.
Your solution coerces anything it doesn't know what to do with into
`complex`, which is probably not what we want it to do. Besides, there
isn't really any reason it should receive `int` or `Integer` as a parent;
a symbolic function's `_evalf_` shouldn't ever get passed that.
With the patch, if `float` is the parent and it gets complex output then
it coerces to `complex`, which makes sense since it is has the same
precision and is also a Python builtin type. I think the scope of the
patch should be to just fix this issue, which affects plotting as noted in
the description.
