Can you tell me what are the issues involved? From my naive view, something like CDComplex (mapping to C double _Complex) wouldn't be different than what's done for other basic types. Why am I wrong?
I think the compiler has to generate assembly code for all basic types. I can also imagine that types like a Word128 or Word256 are not natively supported in most common architectures. But I am no expert in this area.
