I don't think it's a good idea to get the versions for different types out 
of sync, especially not based on architecture-specific reasoning about the 
speed of particular functions at a particular time on a particular 
configuration.  If anything I'd like to move towards these <complex.h> 
functions being pseudo-templates using macros to have a single main 
implementation shared by all types.
