I have added the methods .real_part() and .imag_part() to the library

Did you chose that unconventional name because of numeric::real() and numeric::imag() returning a numeric object? Too bad...

No, actually, just because I was thinking "what could be a nice name for a function that takes the real/imaginary part of something". Do you think that it should be changed? I am not sure whether numeric::real() and numeric::imag() would cause trouble in that case. Best, Chris
