C++ doesn't have "complex" as a built-in type.  It has the ability to add
new types to the language, the ability to overload operators, and the
ability to have inline functions; they were used in a *tour de force*
demonstration of how you can "add" "complex" to C++ without changing the
compiler or the base language.
