abstract class $CPX_NUMBER{ETP<$REAL_NUMBER{ETP},NTP} < $NFE{NTP}
****
Complex numbers are strictly more general than real numbers. The right abstraction would be to force real numbers to povide a "zero" real part, but this is quite awkward. It is simpler to enforce no relationship, which conforms to the way we seem to actually deal with complex and real numbers
