I will go through that at length. A lot of food for thought is in there.

Also, one of the issues with the special case when using imaginary number 
has the disadvantage that

 	imag(x) * complex(yreal,yimag)

is different from complex(0,x) * complex(yreal,yimag) if yreal or yimag is 
an Infinity.

Does the operation

 	Infinity * Zero

need to yield Zero when it occurs with complex arithmetic where that Zero 
is the real or complex component of a complex nunmber, but is effectively 
an empty component, or nothingness.

I think I have written that correctly - Damian
