I have to admit this will slow down our program while using
float/double/long double, but I guess situation might be better for
old-styled cpus.
BTW, would you please take a look at Eq. 5.4.4 - 5.4.7 in
http://www.haoli.org/nr/bookcpdf/c5-4.pdf ?
I noticed abs is precision-optimized for all types, but this kind of
optimization leads abs(complex<int>(3,4)) to 4, not 5,
while division and square root functions are not optimized for
float/double/long double.
sorry for the noise.
