…ythonGH-119687) * Remove the equivalence with real+imag*1j which can be incorrect in corner cases (non-finite numbers, the sign of zeroes). * Separately document the three roles of the constructor: parsing a string, converting a number, and constructing a complex from components. * Document positional-only parameters of complex(), float(), int() and bool() as positional-only. * Add examples for complex() and int(). * Specify the grammar of the string for complex(). * Improve the grammar of the string for float(). * Describe more explicitly the behavior when real and/or imag arguments are complex numbers.
