   Format: MarkdownItexAdded to the example "real vector bundles as Real vector bundles" ([here](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/real+vector+bundle#RealVectorBundlesAsRealVectorBundles)) a line saying that the equivalence continues to hold over varying base spaces. Then below that I added a Remark ([here](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/real+vector+bundle#ComplexVectorBundlesAsRealBundles)) that, in contrast, complex vector bundles over varying bases do $\,$ not $\,$ form a full subcategory of Real vector bundles over varing $\mathbb{Z}/2$-spaces --- but they do form a full subcategory of "Real vector bundles equipped with complex structure", where "complex structure" means endomorphisms (of Real vector bundles) squaring to $-1$.
