 Log:
 Added from_cis and as_cis to the complex type. The functions creates /
 return the cis form of a complex (aka polar form or exp form) which is
 often used in engineering.
"cis" doesn't ring any bells with me. (Well, actually I know it as the CIS
fuel injection system in Porsche 911s, but that's a rather non-Pythonic
usage.). Why not the more obvious (to me) from_polar and as_polar?
