For practical applications, complex numbers are really only needed (AFAICR) for electrical engineering and physics. There, you will find problems that are solved quite nicely by using them, and there are things in the real world you use all the time that rely upon those solutions. (Mobile phones for example.) So, if complex numbers really aren't your thing, it's not a big deal unless you're an EE, physicist, or mathematician.

Speaking of complex numbers that I added in v0.9, I received feedback from... let me count... exactly *one* person. Hmm, either my implementation was basically perfect (unlikely!), or no one is using the functionality (more likely). Anyway, I'm polishing towards the next release in a few weeks. If you have any feedback about complex numbers, this might be a good time to send them to me.
