[Help-gsl] C99 complex support

[James Service]

Hi.

I was wondering if there were any plans or an effort underway to include 
support, or an extension, for using the C99 complex number routines 
internally?  Forgive me if I seem ignorant (I've only been using gsl for a 
week and I'm only an undergrad physicist), but it seems that the without the 
burden of the gsl_complex system some existing routines may be easily extended 
to work with complex numbers to provide additional functionality (for example 
the francis algorithm for finding matrix eigenvalues, which I believe extends 
trivially to complex matrices in principle).

If not, how would you recommend I had a crack at it myself?  I've never really 
coded for anyone other than myself before, but it looks possible at least.


Thanks in advance
