A concept present in processors such as Texas Instruments DSPs and in the Mill Architecture to an advanced level, register "tags" allow the meaning and behaviour of instructions to change, polymorphically.
-This allows instructions originally designed to only be IEEE754 FP64 fir example to become IEEE754 FP128 or even complex mumbers. With SVP64 supporting [[sv/remap]] it is not conceptually that much of a leap to support complex numbers, given that the hardware to do so is already in place.

+# Complex numbers

+Currently under discussion is which arithmetic operations should be supported: complex divide for example is known to be very tricky. Add and subtract are easy: multiply involves four scalar multiplies, one add and one subtract. This fits within the REMAP system capabilities.
