Cool, go for it. I'd think that for the set_(integer|number) vtable slots
we'd set the real part and make the imaginary part 0, while the string
version'd look for the "x + yi" version.
I think for now both i and j are fine for the imaginary part.
And I'm now thinking that we want to do mmd for assignment. Dammit. :(
