From my linguistics text, chapter 3:

"Complimentary Distribution means that the two sounds [voiced and unvoiced l] never occur in the same place (like Clark Kent and Superman)."

*giggle* By day, disguised as mild-mannered Unvoiced L...but when linguists are threatened...Super Voiced L!

And it's not just Super Voiced L: it's very complimentary, too! :-)
