@deffn procedure inexact z
@deffnx procedure exact->inexact z
@code{inexact} returns an inexact representation of @var{z}. The
-value returned is the inexact number that is numerically closest to the
-argument. If an exact argument has no reasonably close inexact
-equivalent, then a violation of an implementation restriction may be
-reported; MIT/GNU Scheme signals an error of type
-@code{condition-type:bad-range-argument} in this case.

+value returned is the inexact number that is numerically closest to
+the argument. For inexact arguments, the result is the same as the
+argument. For exact complex numbers, the result is a complex number
+whose real and imaginary parts are the result of applying
+@code{inexact} to the real and imaginary parts of the argument,
+respectively. If an exact argument has no reasonably close inexact
+equivalent (in the sense of @code{=}), then a violation of an
+implementation restriction may be reported.
