Comment (by Scott Turner):
> In my opinion complex numbers with zero imaginary part should behave
like simple real numbers in all such functions.
This is a naive understanding of the complex numbers. They are not a plain
extension of the real numbers; they are missing the linear ordering. So
you can't say that log(0)= -infinity as you do with the real numbers,
because there are additional ways in which to approach 0.
