One thing I've ran into a lot is having to deal with manually handling random number generation for complex numbers. The standard definition for the complex normal distribution would have

randn{T<:Number}(::Type{Complex{T}}) = (randn(T)+im*randn(T))/sqrt(2)

Would this be something that would be accepted?
