Looks like D is going in the wrong direction. IIUC, there is no longer a
builtin imaginary type. D1 agrees with Prof. Kahan but D2 diverges so that it
can introduce inadvertent errors
(http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/cppcomplex.html).

The above program gives an error:

complexes.d(6): Error: undefined identifier complex, did you mean struct
Complex(T) if (isFloatingPoint!(T))?
complexes.d(6): Error: undefined identifier complex, did you mean struct
Complex(T) if (isFloatingPoint!(T))?

I thought 1,3, etc. are integers, may be, so changing 1 -> 1.0, 3 -> 3.0 etc.
it still gives same error.
