 Wow, agreed.  Unfortunately, Maxima needs to declare this.
 {{{
 sage: assume(x,'complex')
 sage: (x*conjugate(x)).simplify()
 x*conjugate(x)
 }}}

 I guess a possible workaround would be to have all SR variables declared
 `complex` in Maxima when first starting Maxima, and then thereafter... but
 it would be very hackish and slow.
