couple of questions about complex expressions



...Oh..I did the test with a nonstandard Maxima. Trying the experiment using 5.27.0 + GCL 2.6.8, I get 11 errors. Most of the
errors are similar to things like elliptic_eu(1/7,2/7), numer doesn't evaluate to a binary64.

As an experiment, I removed the rational to binary64 conversion (when $float is true) for the functions *red and *red1.
The testsuite reported 17 errors. One bug is inverse_jacobi_cs(1/7,2/7), numer doesn't evaluate to a binary64. Maybe
that would be easy to fix.  Other bugs include things like

Result:
error-catch
