No, I think the situation is clear and I removed % operator from complex numbers in future LNUM revisions. Haven't heard the norm been called modulus ever; I'm using 'math.abs ()' for getting the norm. Lua 5.1.2 Copyright (C) 1994-2007 Lua.org, PUC-Rio (complex double int32)

Hello
Perhaps you are mixing concepts between modulus of an integer number

and modulus of a complex one. Both are not related. For an integer number

modulus is related to the rest of quotient. For a complex one it is

a norm: for z = a+bi is |z| = sqrt{a^2+b^2}. As you see both definitions

have not relationship.
