This programm

import venus.all;

int main (char [][] args)
{
    float y=3.14;
    PrintLine("y=",y);
    cfloat cy=3.14 + 10i;
    PrintLine("cy.re=",cy.re);
    PrintLine("cy.im=",cy.im);
    PrintLine("cy=",cy);
    ifloat ix=1.5i;
    PrintLine("ix=",ix);
    cdouble z=cy*ix;
    PrintLine("z=",z);
    z=sqrt(z);
    PrintLine("sqrt(z)=",z);
    z= -1;
    PrintLine("z=",z);
    z=sqrt(z);
    PrintLine("sqrt(z)=",z);
    return 0;
}

Will produce the following output:

y=3.140000                           ok, only testing
cy.re=3.140000                       ok  
cy.im=10.000000                      ok  
cy=3.140000 + 10.000000i             ok, testing PrintLine for cfloat
ix=1.500000i                         ok, ifloat assignment
z=-15.000000 + 4.710000i             ok, multiplication 
sqrt(z)=2.170253 + 0.000000i         nok sqrt
z=-1.000000 + 0.000000i              ok, cdouble assignment
sqrt(z)=-nan + 0.000000i             nok sqrt

The sqrt values calculated are in error. I don't no why sqrt is called at all. 
It seams that Phobos doesn't define a complex version for sqrt. The stdio and
stdlib modules are imported, but they shouldn't match.

No problem. But why do the calls match?

Both are a conversion.

It may be worth the hassle to disallow floating points to be converted 
to integers, in that case.  round/floor/truncate functions could fill 
the gap. (make it/them intrinsic?)

I don't understand that. I can't find anything about conversions in the 
language specs that would back that. Anyway nothing that would make
a complex number match to the only 

    //intrinsic.d
    real sqrt(real);

I can find. Even if there were something it would be just plain wrong.
