No, I think the situation is clear and I removed % operator from
complex numbers in future LNUM revisions.
Haven't heard the norm been called modulus ever; I'm using 'math.abs
()' for getting the norm.

Hello
Perhaps you are mixing concepts between modulus of an integer number
and modulus of a complex one. Both are not related. For an integer
number
modulus is related to the rest of quotient. For a complex one it is
a norm: for z = a+bi is |z| = sqrt{a^2+b^2}. As you see both
definitions
have not relationship.
