I don't think you do. But perhaps you overestimate the number of NumPy
users who use Swig?

Cython seems to be the preferred wrapping tool today, and it understands
complex numbers:

    cdef double complex J = 0.0 + 1j

If you tell Cython to emit C++, this will result in code that uses
std::complex<double>.
