Section 5.4: Numeric Types

Second paragraph reads: 
Appending 'j' or 'J' to a numeric literal yields a complex number with a zero real part.

After reading the table following the paragraphs I thought that the sentence needed revised to the following:
Appending 'j' or 'J' to a numeric literal yields a complex number with a zero imaginary part.

Table in same section for complex(re, im) indicates possible required doc change.

But after testing the use of J and complex I see there is no error here, but perhaps a little better clarification would help others reading the information without access to an editor to test against.
