How about changing the name of the complex-number function to, ideally,
complex?
complex-number seems irritating to (have to) read. Further, calling this
function is a form of type coercion. (float ...), (int ...), etc., are
idiomatic Clojure, whereas (float-number ...), (int-number ...), etc., were
not included in the language.

Complex is a Clojure library for doing complex number calculations
that wraps the Java commons-math3 Complex library.
complex
A Clojure library for doing calculations with complex numbers. Wraps
the Java commons-math3 Complex library.
Usage
A complex number can be created by invoking the complex number
function. With one argument the function produces a complex number in
which only the real component is non-zero. With two arguments, the
first argument is the real part, the second argument is the imaginary
part:
= (complex-number 1)
Complex (1.0, 0.0)
= (complex-number 1 2)
Complex (1.0, 2.0).
The library can be used to do complex arithmetic. The + function can
have any number of real or complex arguments but always produces a
complex result.
= (+ 1 (complex-number 3 4))
Complex (4.0, 4.0).
The same is true of the other arithmetical operations *,-,/. The
arithmetical functions are fastest on a per number basis when used on
only two arguments. They are also faster when their arguments are
complex.
The library also provides other functions, such as (pow a b), which
raises a to the power b, (sin a) which calculates the sine of a, and
several other functions. For details, see the docs.
