I am having difficulties trying to do complex number calculations.
First, it is a real pain to have to use functions for ordinary operations. I
would like to propose a simple switch that might pop up if a complex number
were detected substituting the complex versions of *,/,+,- for the real
counterparts. Even more radical would be to do the same for functions, but one
might need a compatibility mode.
However, I am finding that things like improduct(1+2j;3-4j) do not work.
Advice? Thoughts?
Thank you.

I would not trust IMPRODUCT() to do calculations:
they are not correct.
For example, I made this calculation:
=IMPRODUCT(3+i4,3-i4). The answer given was 9. But this is
just the product of the real numbers. The correct answer is
25 (3*3 +3*i4 -3*i4 +4*4).
I also discovered that it may not work with
fractions: =IMPRODUCT(2+i2,0.5-i.5). Calc gives an error: #REF.
