There are a few complaints on mantis.
It is incomplete (no sqrt, conjuguated, etc...).
And some cosmetic requests (I'd like Complex to be renamed ComplexNumber 
and isComplex isComplexNumber).

But overall, it was usable for me after a few extensions i put on 
SqueakSource Math-Complex-Extensions.

Implementation choice to keep (1+0i) a Complex rather than 
auto-converting to a Number is not light but it enables programmer to 
select where and when to use Complex extensions.

I think the reason to remove it is that it is not used at all.
Complex implementation is cool with this respect, because there are no 
overriden methods.

We should make it an optional package on Squeak source/Squeak map, not 
all users need Complex numbers after all.
