[phobos] committed a bunch of stuff...

[Lars Tandle Kyllingstad]

I say it's high time to ditch the built-in complex numbers.  But then
again, I'm the author of std.complex and would of course like to see it
used, so how can I say anything else?  ;)

But I think Walter has a good point:  Perhaps there should be one or two
releases where creal & co. are deprecated, but still work, before
support for them is removed from Phobos.
