Well, it certainly *is* of use in the sense that methods operating on
<number> will immediately start to also accept <my-complex> as an argument.
That might seem worrisome but is not if there is some agreement on which
operations should be implemented for all numbers. So, if you had previously
written an algorithm which operates on numbers, there's now a good chance
that it would also work for <my-complex> objects.
