Complex!(Int) or Complex!(BigRational) and a general
complex template should be in the standard library,
it doesn't make sence that everyone write's his own version.

That would be nice. Also a Rational!(int), Rational!(long), Rational!(Int)
template would also be nice. I haven't looked at BigRational - does it use
a template?
