It's not clear to me if you're proposing any action here. Do you want to
remove any extant accommodation for Lisp complex numbers and instead
trigger an error if any appears? or something else? There is little
support for Lisp complex numbers at present -- are you actively trying
to discourage others from filling the gaps? Would you be disappointed if
someone did make such an effort?

Full of questions today, I guess --
