Description changed by jdemeyer:

Old description:

> and shouldn't be used directly. For example, the following doesn't work:
> {{{
> sage: ComplexNumber(complex('13.8+6.2j'))
> TypeError: unable to coerce to a ComplexNumber: <type 'str'>
> }}}

New description:

 The `RealNumber()` and `ComplexNumber()` global functions are meant for
 the Sage preparser and shouldn't be used directly. For example, the
 following doesn't work (and it shouldn't):
 {{{
 sage: ComplexNumber(complex('13.8+6.2j'))
 TypeError: unable to coerce to a ComplexNumber: <type 'str'>
 }}}
