I don't think it's a good idea to get the versions for different types out
of sync, especially not based on architecture-specific reasoning about the
speed of particular functions at a particular time on a particular
configuration. If anything I'd like to move towards these <complex.h>
functions being pseudo-templates using macros to have a single main
implementation shared by all types.
