Treat Fraction as a real value in mixed arithmetic operations with complex #119838
Description
Activity
In future we can support the mixed real-complex arithmetic also for the builtin complex type.
Then this change will make sense. Right now it contradicts to coercion rules for int/floats op complex.PS: But thank you for reminding me that I should fix also the "complex op Fraction" case in my pr:)
Edit: After looking on the code, sorry - false alert.
A fraction is a real value, so it makes sense to convert it to
floatinstead ofcomplexin such cases.+1

In arithmetic operations, if one of operands is a
Fraction, and the other operand is acomplexor anumbers.Complex, the fraction is implicitly converted to acomplex. Third-party types implementing thenumbers.Complexinterface can distinguish between real and complex operands. In future we can support the mixed real-complex arithmetic also for the builtincomplextype. A fraction is a real value, so it makes sense to convert it tofloatinstead ofcomplexin such cases.Linked PRs
