The complex class has special methods which always raise a TypeError:

   __int__
   __float__
   __floordiv__
   __mod__
   __divmod__

After removing them the corresponding operations (converting to int and float, operators // and %, function divmod()) will still a TypeError.

Advantages of removing:

* Less code to maintain.
* More uniform error messages.
* Clearer output of help().
* Possibility to implement a type with __rfloordiv__, __rmod__ and __rdivmod__ which support complex numbers.

+1 This makes sense.

The docs for this should probably be updated to reflect the change: https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.runtime_checkable

Indeed, Bartosz. Do you think you can help by submitting a PR for the docs?

Done so: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/25197

Signed the CLA thing too, it seems it'll take a while to update tho.
