Or even more exotically, use Complex!(Complex!real) to implement

For a more generic solution to this, see Cayley-Dickson construction[1]
and my implementation of such:
https://github.com/Biotronic/Collectanea/blob/master/biotronic/CayleyDickson2.d
It's nowhere near finished, has some bugs, and I haven't worked on it
for at least a year, but it's an interesting way to create complex,
hypercomplex, dual, and split-complex numbers (and combinations thereof).
