I agree with this.  It would be interesting to know how often people 
actually write complex literals.  I suspect it is *very* rare.

And how would it work, anyway?  Should we be required to import 
std.complex to use complex literals?

In my opinion, when the built-in complex types are deprecated, the 
literals should go as well.
