And, Dave, I would have thought it would be more precisely described as
a _Gaussian_ integer. For example, according to Mathematica,

In[1]:= IntegerPart[3.1 - 2.5 I]

Out[1]= 3 - 2 I

which seems reasonable to me.

It doesn't seem reasonable to me. I think that the integer part of
anything should be an integer period.
