[phobos] std.complex: ready for Phobos?

[Lars Tandle Kyllingstad]

Another point is that if Complex!T is to support arbitrary FP types, then the trigonometric functions in std.math must too. Personally, I think we should keep the constraint for now. If we loosen it later, at least nothing will break.

Good point, I'll add that.

I've considered that.  But wouldn't it make more sense to define 
isFloatingPoint and isIntegral so they match compile-time interfaces 
instead of specific (built-in) types?

See bug 2460, "ref functions can't be template functions".  If this is a 
low-priority bug, I can always work around it, but that seems rather 
pointless.  Also, considering that almost all operator overloading is 
now done with templates, it *really* should be fixed.

Thanks! :)
