The documentation states that if z is complex, z.im is imaginary while z.re is
extended. Shouldn't both be extended? (as in mathematics)
Also, in eng. the j is used for imaginary unit. Could D allow the use of i/j
(both of them) to write complex numbers?

Yes (good catch).

I've used both i and j in college, and never had any trouble switching between the two. I'm reluctant to add features without a clear advantage to them.

OK, I agree, maybe doesn't worth to add this feature. I got your point.
