I'll just add that core matrix complex doesn't prevent you from using
rationals, as most of the math happens on real/imaginary matrix pairs.
However, any time you try to return a scalar value (not a matrix), it wraps
the result using the alanforr library, so you'd be potentially restricted
there, though I'm not sure if the alanforr library would automatically cast
or error out. If someone came up with another complex library, it probably
wouldn't be too hard to make that swappable, just as the underlying matrix
implantations are presently (in core.matrix.complex).
