44 // Templated functions to convert scalars from one type to another.
45 // They are useful to be able to convert a DComplex to a Complex
46 // in templated classes.
47 // A Complex,DComplex specialisation is necessary because the complex
48 // class in the standard C++ library does not have such an automatic
49 // conversion.
