I have been debugging column_min and column_max in tc-extras.cc, and
I have a question.

Why are real numbers differentiated from complex numbers in the case
statements?  I.e., why not do it all using abs(arg.complex_value ()),
since you'll get the same answer anyway with less code.  Is it for
speed?
