How is the phase preservation an important thing for you ? I ask because I
didn't really think of it as important... (and I still somewhat don't know
when it's really important).

It's defined for any signal. There are different equivalent ways to define
the gain of a linear filter. In my head, I was thinking of an input signal
containing a single 1 in a sea of zeroes... but it might be a bit easier
to understand it using a constant input signal. Then for [sig~ 1], [rpole~
1] will diverge (as much as the float32 number format can allow it to...)
because 1/(1-1) is undefined (it's a division by zéro). But for [sig~ 1]
again, [rpole~ 0.999] will output a constant 1000.
