Java numerics issue

[Dean Schulze]

Arthur,

    I've been curious to know why complex numbers were left out
of Java.  Since there is no operator overloading the syntax for
working with, for example, objects of type ZDouble will be pretty
ugly.

    Is there any chance that complex numbers could be added to the
language in the future or have they been frozen out?
