Thanks for that. The most relevant article which I am guessing
Walter used as the basis of his cfloat and ifloat types is that
by William Kahan and J.W. Thomas from 1991 which was titled
"Augmenting a Programming Language with Complex Arithmetic". See
Arithmazium.Org:
https://www.arithmazium.org/library/lib/wk_jt_aug_prog_lang_w_cmplx_dec91.pdf
I would love to find what Walter posted when he implemented those
types in D and any documentation from the usage of those types.
Thanks in advance.
