It seems that, for example, fortran lacks a complex atan2, but I don't
see why atan2 of two complex numbers shouldn't be defined as a complex
valued function. For my own work it would be useful (for example, for
solving dispersion relations in dissipative media), and that is the
reason I stumbled into the problem.

Yes, but Carg is indeed expected to be real.
Best regards,
