Complex multiplication is just one of the simplest examples. This is a reasonable point, but do keep in mind that this is also true of simple objects. For example, when dealing with !(char *)! objects, don't you practically always find that you need operations on them beyond any simple model that could reasonably be supported directly via language operators? !strcmp()! is just one of the simplest examples. -- Peter da Silva, Xenix Support, Ferranti International Controls Corporation.
