I am opening this PR to reinvent the wheel for C complex for importC.
reading few comments in DMD, and conversations with @ibuclaw , DMD has the intentions of using the D fundamental complex types which is ABI compatible with the C complex types. but the implementations in several parts of the compiler contradict that. that's the main cause of issues opened on C complex and will make it impossible to compile third party libraries. with the issues opened on complex, we could provide fixes to make them work but in the end, they would be fragile since the main internal C complex machinery is broken in DMD.
This PR is supposed to lead to C complex no longer interpreted as
_Complex!T.
