His point was in a language with operating overloading (such as C++) you don't have to change the core language in order to add new numeric types, be they complex number of otherwise. The burden is removed from the language standard and implementation and in the case of complex numbers, the user gets the flexibility of choosing the underlying type and implementation. -- Ian Collins
