This shouldn't be necessary (there is a RValue overload available); what
could be the case is that we need something to fulfill the null-object
pattern.

I agree the real/imaginary stuff is a pain and shouldn't be present in any
C++ library. I looked it up in the bindings v1, apparently this was done
similar to how you're doing it, by allocating separate arrays. That's
additional memory (allocation) which I am not too fond of, perhaps a
inplace-version using casting and swapping will do the trick. But is this
trivial? E.g., by swapping, transform
R1 R2 R3 R4 I1 I2 I3 I4 into
R1 I1 R2 I2 R3 I3 R4 I4
I will check how we could add more overloads through the generator.
