An introductory article on Digital Mars explains the rationale behind the complex types and quotes W. Kahan: "The language of pairs is incorrect for Complex Arithmetic; it needs the Imaginary type." http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/cppcomplex.html The library types can and do work as well, probably because "Appendix G of the C99 standard has recommendations for dealing with this problem."
