I recently proposed complex classes for C++ to the ANSI C++ committee
X3J16.  I did not include imaginary classes; instead I stuck fairly
close to David Knaak's NCEG proposal.  I'm interested in reading the
rational behind the decision to include imaginary in the set of Ada
types.  Do you have info on how I can get copies of the documents you
cite above?

thanks,
