Not using complex numbers in Python - coming to grips with what they
mean physically.

This is akin to asking for unification of classes and modules -
they're both namespaces so they have a lot of similarities, but the
ways in which they're different are by design.

Similarly, subroutines and coroutines are not the same thing:

They're *related*, but they're still not the same thing.

Nick.
