Description
'Purpose and Scope' still states that complex dtypes will be included in a future version.
- Standardization of these dtypes is out of scope: bfloat16, complex, extended
precision floating point, datetime, string, object and void dtypes.
Rationale: these dtypes aren't uniformly supported, and their inclusion at
this point in time could put a significant implementation burden on
libraries. It is expected that some of these dtypes - in particular
bfloat16
,complex64
, andcomplex128
- will be included in a future
version of the standard.
