So while you may not have implemented your own version of complex you 
clearly implemented something you wanted to behave in the same way - and 
that didn't.

Don't worry, let's not bother about your real problem, let's just go on 
arguing about what you said or didn't say.

Better still, let's not bother ... I'm sorry you don't like the support 
around here, I guess you get what you ask for.
