even then it would only work by using _Imaginary_I, I think

right

(but I think it is more import to get initialization of normal complex
constants going, than the border cases with INFINITY and NAN)

to support this it seems that gcc provides __builtin_complex, so we
could implement this subject to some case analysis according to
__builtin_const etc. But since the doc for __builtin_complex
explicitly mentions C11, this probably doesn't exist for older
versions of gcc.

I'll think of it and prepare a new version of this patch

Thanks

Jens
