How about this wording:

"Mathematically, complex numbers are a superset of the real numbers.
 Complex numbers with a zero imaginary part ARE real numbers and
 should behave as such.  That the #< selector is part of the Complex
 class is an artifact of the current implementation.  There is no agreed
 upon model for < comparison for complex numbers in general."

Better?
