Re: [perl #56230] [PATCH] Multimethods for Complex.

Another question:

Do we actually want a sqrt(Complex)? Somebody who is sufficiently
mathematically educated to work with complex numbers should now that
sqrt() is ambigous, because there are two possible results, and will
revert to roots() for that.

Any thoughts?
