Summary

0002689: isComplex method name is bad

Description

Object isComplex and Complex isComplex are both implemented in term of isKindOf: Complex.

Some other class do implement isComplex, and obviously they are complex (complicated) but not KindOf: Complex.

This can foolish some code.

Additional Information

I suggest Complex being renamed ComplexNumber and isComplex being renamed isComplexNumber (see how Object>>isComplex comment claims for that).

Then any class will be free to express its complexity via isComplex without harming.
