Review Comment:
   What do you think of using the name pair "source"/"sink". I could then 
picture the following:
   ```java
   // interface for obtaining complex values
   public interface ComplexSource {
       double getReal();
       double getImaginary();
   
       default real() { return getReal(); }
       default imag() { return getImaginary(); }
   }
   
   // interface for accepting complex values, optionally returning a result
   @FunctionalInterface
   public interface ComplexSink<R> {
       R accept(double real, double imaginary);
   }
   ```
   These interfaces could then be used as follows:
   ```java
   // existing Complex class
   public final class Complex implements ComplexSource {
       // ...
   }
   
   // TBD complex value container class
   public class ComplexBuffer implements ComplexSource, 
ComplexSink<ComplexBuffer> {
       // indexing methods similar to java.nio.Buffer
       public int position();
       public ComplexBuffer position(int pos);
   
       // get the values at the current position
       public double getReal() { ... }
       public double getImaginary() { ... }
   
       // set the values at the current position
       ComplexBuffer accept(double real, double imaginary) {
           // ...
           return this;
       }
   }
   ```
