Instead of asking that question, I suggest to ask people that write code that 
uses complex numbers if they like the idea of complex literals. And I suggest 
to analyse some Fortran/C code that uses complex numbers and count how often 
literals may be useful in the code, and how much they may improve the 
readability of the code.
