funny, we just said the same thing: That is a real Microsoft type
mentality. it was about both the help and about the non existing backwards
compatibility of atan (and probably many other functions) . one wouldn't
expect a change in such a fundamental function. so now atan(z, /phase)
gives the same result as atan(z), where z is (re,im)... this is more than
stupid. this is dangerous.
