I just realized that imag() suffers from the same problem as ".imag" unless
both real and imag always provide a copy (inefficient) or we can make imag()
return a read only array somehow. (I'm opposed to sometimes returning a copy
and sometimes not -- that's evil).

So now I'm +1 for real(), imag() with imag(a) returning something read only
when a is not complex. And +0.5 for .real, .imag with a.imag returning
something read-only when a is not complex.
