I would be inclined to support ADA-like overloading of operators with
user-defined functions rather than introducing a complex data type just
so you can apply + - * / == (with all the problems of defining these
functions for complex numbers into a standard, library routines like ldiv
built into the compiler etc etc).
That would be much more difficult than squeezing in complex numbers though
I suspect.
