I am having difficulties trying to do complex number calculations.
First, it is a real pain to have to use functions for ordinary operations. I
would like to propose a simple switch that might pop up if a complex number
were detected substituting the complex versions of *,/,+,- for the real
counterparts. Even more radical would be to do the same for functions, but one
might need a compatibility mode.
However, I am finding that things like improduct(1+2j;3-4j) do not work.
Advice? Thoughts?
Thank you.

Suggestion: While Excel uses semicolons (;) in its
functions, Calc uses commas (,):
improduct(1+2j,3-4j)
What help does not seem to tell you is that complex
numbers should be written in this form:
the i or j used for the imaginary part of the complex
number should come first. Hence, your complex numbers can be
one of these: 1+i2 or 1+j2; 3-i4 or 3-j4. If you do not do
this, you will get #NAME as a result.
Try improduct(1+j2,3-j4). It should give you the
desired result.
