| I gotta wonder how much of the way there it would get us if we could
| write
| 
|   template <typename T> class complex;
|   template <>
|   typedef _Complex double complex<double>;

If we do that, we mutate C++ because we would have now introduced an
implicit conversion of a std:complex<double> to its real part, where
it did not exist before.
