It ought to simplify handling (and testing) complex numbers if we constrain the
argument (i.e. angle theta in polar coordinate form) of complex numbers to fall
within the range [0, 2 * PI).

Example case: should arg(complex(-1.0, 0)) be PI or -PI?

Sorry; this is nonsense, it ought to return a value in the range (-PI, PI]. 
The problem is that arg() is returning a value of -PI.
