Maybe aliasing "complex" to "double complex" isn't a simple after all.
... except when it is. ;) Assuming that we always alias complex Python values to "double complex", the above doesn't actually hurt us. When users define a variable as type "complex", it's fine to make it mutable because he/she has just taken it out of the control of normal (non statically typed) Python behaviour. So only values for which Cython has no type information or which are explicitly defined as "object" will stay immutable because either Cython or Python will forbid assignments. Everything else is represented by a (mutable) C type anyway.
