it wasn't a suggestion from him, i just wanted to ping him so he can see the message

Misc #15654: Documentation for Complex is wrong or misleading
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15654#change-77046

* Author: sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
----------------------------------------
The documentation for `Complex` https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.6/Complex.html says or implies that a complex can be created by literal like `2+1i`, but that is actually calling the method `+` on receiver `2` with argument `1i`. The description should be changed to make it clear that `2+ 1i` is not a literal but is applying a method.
