Ok, let's go ahead with this. Next week me and some of the Hacker Schools are going to clean up this package. Complex differencing lets you calculate more accurate approximate derivatives of analytic functions by working in the complex plane. See http://www.researchgate.net/publication/222112601_The_Complex-Step_Derivative_Approximation/file/d912f50c7474bb861d.pdf for an explanation. |

In this pull request, I've made several cleanup changes to take advantage of default arguments.
One thing I've done is rearrange the order of defaults for
taylor_finite_differencebased on the calls made in the tests. @andreasnoackjensen, will this cause problems for you?
