Interesting arguments. Not sure I agree with all of it. What is
done in C99 (and even C23) reflects the mathematics, so it is
not a hack.
I forgot to reply to that. Don actually said C and D are
different:
D can avoid the need for a pure imaginary type, because *D
guarantees constant folding, whereas C does not*.
