Hi, all

  I have a question: how to define a symbolic variable as real or complex
explicitly? This is related to what I want to do. In math, if I do
    
   z=x+I*y; Im[z]

what I get is 

   Im[x]+Re[y]

instead of what I want

   y

If I can define "x" and "y" explicitly as real variables, I should be 
able to do this. Or is there any other way to do it?

Thanks.
