[Scheme-reports] (angle -0.0-0.0i) should be -pi, but R7RS-draft-6 prohibits this

[Mark H Weaver <mhw@x>]

There is widespread agreement in the relevant floating point standards 
(C99, C11, ISO/IEC 10967, and probably IEEE 754 although I haven't 
purchased a copy) that (angle -0.0-0.0i) = (atan -0.0 -0.0) = -pi, but 
the definition of 'angle' on page 36 of R7RS-draft-6 (section 6.2.6) 
asserts that -pi < (angle z) <= pi for all complex 'z'.  I suggest that 
this be changed to -pi <= (angle z) <= pi.
