Summary: comments to clarify complexobject.c

Initial Comment:
The constructor for a complex takes two values, representing the real and imaginary parts.  Obviously, these should normally both be real numbers, but they don't have to be.  The code to cater to complex arguments led to even Tim Peters asking WTF?

This patch just adds comments.
