I do mathematical programming, and it's always seemed fine to me that
complex numbers can be defined by the user with RECORD types. Although
if you want to use operators with complex types, perhaps you really should be
asking for the ability to define operators? Some languages allow you to
do this, including Zonnon, which seems to be Oberon/Modula-2/Pascal
*without* the "keep it simple" philosophy.
