refactor(Complex): Now a template type! This means that the real and imaginary parts of a Complex must now be the same type. This seems like a real benefit: a Complex with a number real part and a bigint imaginary part does not seem sensible. Note that this is now straining typed-function in (at least) the following ways: (1) In this change, it was necessary to remove the logic that the square root of a negative number calls complex square root, which then calls back to the number square root in its algorithm. (This was creating a circular reference in the typed-function which the old implementation of Complex was somehow sidestepping.) (2) typed-function could not follow conversions that would be allowed by uninstantiated templates (e.g. number => Complex<number> if the latter template has not been instantiated) and so the facility for instantiating a template was surfaced (and for example is called explicitly in the demo loader `extendToComplex`. Similarly, this necessitated making the unary signature of the `complex` conversion function explicit, rather than just via implicit conversion to Complex. (3) I find the order of implementations is mattering more in typed-function definitions, implying that typed-function's sorting algorithm is having trouble distinguishing alternatives. But otherwise, the conversion went quite smoothly and I think is a good demo of the power of this approach. And I expect that it will work even more smoothly if some of the underlying facilities (subtypes, template types) are integrated into typed-function.
