Detailed Description

This file defines the conjugate<R> template class, where R is one of the three built-in real types.

It is exactly like the C++ complex<R> template except that the represented value is the conjugate of the value represented by a complex number containing the same bit pattern. That is, complex and conjugate both contain two real numbers, re and im, with complex(re,im) meaning (re + im*i) while conjugate(re,im) means (re - im*i). It is guaranteed that our conjugate type has the identical size and representation as complex. Together, these definitions and guarantee permit conjugation to be done by reinterpretation (i.e. type casting) rather than by computation.
A caution on implementation of complex numbers: it's not as simple as you might think. A mildly nasty issue is handling mixed precision arguments. More substantial is getting the right complex answer using real arithmetic. For example, if c=a+bi then even a seemingly simple calculation like |c|=sqrt(a*a+b*b) may fail if calculated that way, due to unnecessary overflow. Take a look at a good complex<> implementation or see Press, et al., Numerical Recipes in C++, 2nd ed., 2003, section 5.4, pp 183-4 for a discussion. Consequently, wherever it doesn't matter for performance, conjugate<R> objects are simply converted to complex<R> (which costs one negation) and then the system class is used to do the hard stuff.
