Great find, Chris. If it took Dotzel one week, for someone who does not not have experience with the internals of BlackBox compiler it woud take forever:-)

e.g. Guenter Dotzel wrote about his experiences implementing COMPLEX in the
VAX/VMS Modula-2 compiler
http://www.modulaware.com/mdlt06.htm
"It took me a full week to extend the VAX/VMS Modula-2 compiler MVR to fully
support complex including evaluation of constant complex operations and
VMS-debugger support for the new types."
I suggest we use that measure as the *absolute minimum* time needed to
implement something similar in BlackBox ;-)
