These are generalized imaginary-base conversion routines. They only work for imaginary bases, not complex. (Any real portion of the radix must be zero.) Theoretically they could be made to work for any imaginary base; in practice, they are limited to integer bases from -6i to -2i and 2i to 6i since those bases will fit within standard base 36 digit representations. Bases -1i and 1i exist but require special
<lang perl6>multi sub base ( Real $num, Int $radix where -37 < * < -1, :$precision = -5 ) {
