really silly nit: why 3+5j instead of 3+5i?

*This* is the best argument for the use of J that I've heard so far. Not that
I care much either way, but at least this doesn't leave me with a nagging
feeling like the socket.socket() change did (before it was reversed.)

To note, I *am* using Courier, and I still consider the above code confusing
enough to warrant the use of J. Not confusing in the manner of 'does it say
l or i', but rather, 'did the original author mean 'l' or 'i'' ?
