Correct. And I've just checked the latest draft for C++14 and it does not 
define I. In fact, it does not allow the C99 complex types at all:

	_Complex double j;

I asked the committee in May about more C99 rapprochement and the above is 
exactly one of the things they do *not* want. That above is C99's way of doing 
something C++ solved with templates.

Right. But still, since C99 does define I in complex.h and some compilers do 
allow including C99 headers in C++ code, we need to cope with it.

Does anyone want to submit a simple patch that renames the template parameter?
