This PR

  • adds complex number support to not_equal by documenting special cases. By convention, inequality is determined by independently comparing real and imaginary components respectively and then performing a logical OR (i.e., if x = a + bj and y = c + dj, then x != y iff a != c OR b != d.
  • follows precedent in Python, Julia, NumPy, and elsewhere.
  • does not embrace the one-infinity model in which all infinities in the complex plane map to a single infinity (see Riemann sphere), as doing so would lead to unintuitive results when casting real-valued infinities to complex infinities.
  • this PR depends on Add complex number support to equal #528 which includes a design document which this PR references.
