Initial steps to get the ball rolling on this:

1. Remove all complex and imaginary unit-tests from druntime and phobos.

2. Remove/Replace the druntime compiler-library helpers.
 - cdouble *_memset128(cdouble *p, cdouble value, size_t count)
 - creal *_memset160(creal *p, creal value, size_t count)

3. Remove built-in RTTI support in the compiler and run-time library.

4. Add deprecations for internal complex/imaginary helpers (core.internal.convert, core.internal.array.comparison, etc...)

5. Remove all support that was deprecated in (4).

6. Turn on -transition=complex in the compiler by default, so the deprecation warning is the default, deprecate the command-line switch.

7. Add -preview=complex (https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/12069). Though this
could be done earlier.

8. Add new run-time support code for the "new" complex types for C ABI compatibility, this would have to be conditionally compiled in, likely using mixins to avoid triggering parser errors.

9. Make -preview=complex the default, deprecate the command-line switch.

10. Remove residual scaffolding around the deprecation phase of complex/imaginary numbers.

... or ...

Jump straight to (6) and remove everything from druntime/phobos immediately.

But let's move on with making it available only with -revert=complex --
