Standard arithmetic operators with interleaved complex API?

Hello,

I am interested if the interleaved complex API works similiar as the complex number math suported by c99 using the complex.h header? Is it possible to write something like

/* perform addition on element i */
  zc[i] = xc[i] + yc[i];

instead of

/* perform addition on element i */
zc[i].real = xc[i].real + yc[i].real;
zc[i].imag = xc[i].imag + yc[i].imag;

It would be great if that would be possible for standard arithmetic operators +,-,*,/ as it makes the code much easier.b That would be a valid reason to upgrade the Matlab version on our server.

Thanks a lot and best wishes

Christopher

It looks like the latter from this page of the doc:
