I believe there was a long thread about this for the C++ front-end.
The issue is that _Complex is a new fundamental type, ttherefore needs
elaboration about ordering conversion rules, including overload
resolution. The issue was coumponded by the fact that C++ has a class
template complex with slightly different rules.
I don't remember what the conclusion was.
