I have been thinking along the lines of mikera and Maik - and it seems like 
there is no further progress here? I would like to take a crack at creating 
a complex number type, but implemented as a library to Clojure. I am not 
sure where to start, and if anyone here has suggestions, I'd be happy to 
hear them. 

A complex number could simply be a vector of two elements, or a map with 
:real and :imag keys (or something lightweight) - and I am not sure what it 
would require to make this type work happily with code arithmetic functions 
in Clojure and Java Math. 

It would also have to work with seq operations in Clojure - for instance: 
If I have a complex number c = {:real 3 :imag 4}, and a vector v = [1 -2 
c], it would be nice to have the call 'map #(Math/abs %) v' produce (1 2 
5). 

I am having trouble figuring out all the pieces that need to be 
implemented. Is it even possible to implement this as a library, or does 
this need to be a part of clojure.core?
