Issue #5179 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).


As Numeric#exact? has been rejected, and BigDecimal is not a core class, I'm not sure what to do about this issue. @mrkn seems to recommend RangeError for `Complex(1, BigDecimal("0.0")).to_r` (the same as with `Complex(1, 0.0).to_r `). I think the bigdecimal library would have to override Kernel#Complex for that behavior.  Would that be considered acceptable?

Bug #5179: Complex#rationalize and to_r with approximate zeros

----------------------------------------
Currently, Complex#rationalize and Complex#to_r raise a RangeError if the imaginary part is nonzero *or is a Float*. Note that a BigDecimal(0) is accepted, though:

    Complex(1, 0).to_r                 # => Rational(1,1)
    Complex(1, BigDecimal("0.0")).to_r # => Rational(1,1)
    Complex(1, 0.0).to_r               # => RangeError

This is inconsistent. I recommend not raising an error for 0.0 (Float or BigDecimal). Any objection?
