Can't you just use std::complex<T> as value type in quan?
You can do:

quan::resistance<std::complex<> >:kR x;

but its preferable  to do:

quan::complex<quan::resistance::kR> x;

I tried  specialising/ overloading std::complex for quantities before but its
more work than just doing my own version, which will work with numeric types and
quantity types anyway.... and  complex<double>(1) * 2;  won't fail to compile in
my version ;-)
