I'm tired of hearing how z1%z2 should be implemented without C code.
Would someone please code it up and send me a patch!?

Also, I want to change int(), long() and float() for complex numbers
to raise a TypeError exception, since these really shouldn't be
applicable to complex numbers.  This should fix the problem of
math.sqrt(-1j) returning 0.0.

I wonder if this would break any of the Numerics code though?
