# what is storable-complex? historically, `Complex a` didn't have a storable instance in base, and thus storable-complex was born! # when might i use this package? you're using an older ghc/version of base AND calling out to some C or fortran codes around complex numbers. You might find yourself needing this then! # when might i regret using this? if you're writing your own orphan instances instead of using base-orphans, you might have a bad day, use base-orphans (and storable-complex) instead!
