Complex numbers are harder to use than in C

[Marduk via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Dear all,

I just discovered D and I am translating some numerical code I 
wrote in C. I was surprised to learn that there are at least two 
things that are easier in C than in D:

+ Writing complex numbers

C: complex double z = 2.0 + 3.0*I;

D: auto z = complex(2.0, 3.0);


+ Arrays of complex numbers

C: complex double a[2][2] = {{1.0*I, 0.0}, {0.0, 1.0*I}};

D: Complex!double[2][2] a = [[complex(0.0, 1.0), complex(0.0)], 
[complex(0.0), complex(0.0, 1.0)]];

The difference is that D is more verbose. Am I missing something? 
Can we have C's behaviour in D?
