Gilles Sadowski commented on NUMBERS-186:
-----------------------------------------
bq. Can I design [...]
Please subscribe to the ["dev"
ML|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-numbers/mailing-lists.html];
design discussions should always be initiated _there_, for the record. Then,
when some agreement on *what* to do has been reached, specific tasks are
reported _here_, on JIRA, where we can possibly discuss the details of *how* to
implement the feature.
bq. [...] this way?
Quite certainly, no; at least, because
* the real and imaginary parts of a complex number are real numbers (thus, to
be represented as {{double}}),
* a linked list would be extremely wasteful of RAM.

> Placeholder for tasks that could be undertaken in this year's
> [GSoC|https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/].
> Ideas:
> - Update the support for complex numbers in the {{complex}} package to allow
> operations to be performed on lists of complex numbers. This requires
> abstracting the representation of multiple complex numbers into a list
> structure storing real and imaginary parts that can be efficiently iterated
> to apply all the operations supported by the {{Complex}} class. Operations
> should modify the numbers in place allowing efficient, zero allocation
> complex number math to be performed on large datasets.
