Of course, CLN's floor1 is only defined for the classes cl_R, cl_RA, cl_F,
cl_SF, cl_FF, cl_DF and cl_LF, not for cl_N.  You would have to make up a
definition for complex numbers or throw an exception or crash the system
or something.   ;-)

If you are interested in floor for class numeric only I would recommend
writing an ordinary function in your program, using the normal inspectors 
presented by class numeric.  Alas, it could be simpler: there is no clean
way of getting a cl_N from numeric right now, this will change in GiNaC
0.7, which in turn relies on the namespaced CLN 1.1.  I am working full
steam on getting that out of house.  Maybe two or three weeks...
