From @masak

<TimToady> is there a method that pulls out .re and .im as a list
<flussence> .reals
<PerlJam> that's so misnamed
<masak> what PerlJam said.
* masak considers getting a #perl6 badge "API naming curmudgeon"
<TimToady> rakudo​: say (1+2i).reals.fmt("%7.3f")
<p6eval> rakudo cad076​: OUTPUT« 1.000 2.000␤»
<masak> wtf, .reals exists?!
<TimToady> it should obviously be named .reim
* masak submits rakudobug
<PerlJam> masak​: yeah, I thought he was joking too
<PerlJam> masak++
<masak> whoever named that function, come talk with me at the end of the day. :)

This needs to be resolved on the spec side of things first. (neither of these is in the specs today).

Now being tracked at Raku/old-design-docs#48
