We mainly use SymTridiagonal for eigenvalue problem and therefore it is not necessary to allow for complex matrices because the Hermitian eigenvalue problem can be reduced to a real symmetric problem. It might be easier to specify the problem in Hermitian form, so we might change this. What is your use case?
