	If you're going to go to all that trouble,
	you might as well do it right.

	Learn C++ instead of C.

	You can declare your own types (like complex and imaginary)
	and then overload the conventional operators
	+, -, *, /, to handle them easily and transparently
	(even in combination with other numeric types).

	Don't waste your time on C.
