Good deal. There's complex number support in contrib but this is probably a much better way to go about it.
This touches upon another subject though: Clojure lacks a good math library (though Liebke might kill me for that). Clojuratica is good too but not nearly fast enough for general use. Has anybody thought about a wrapper for Apfloat as a starting point? Anybody with any experience, good or bad, using that?
