[phobos] Is anyone working on std.complex?

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

Good call! Walter mentioned he should transfer some knowledge to Don in

Don suggested that the polar representation is very seldom used so we 
may as well throw it away. I like it because it illustrates how library 
is more flexible than built-in...
