Perhaps, but P0581 takes steps to try to remove the dependency that complex has on iostreams.

Modules are supposed to avoid the need to ask that question (and the need for forwarding for the sake of build speed.)

Most of those overload set effects appear unintentional and we should look at "hidden friend"-ing all of them.

Dear Tooling/EWG/LEWG,

     I echo Steve's concern here. "import std;" can possibly lead to a
lot of suboptimal overload resolution. For example, clang-format
accidentally brought in extra overload sets related to std::locale and
tanked someone's performance just because of the order of includes:

     C++ is incredibly sensitive to what entities are available. Since
we do not have a selection syntax (e.g., import std with { vector,
string, find_if, ... }), then our only way to control visibility --
and thus, overload resolution -- is with carefully crafted module
buckets. While there is probably no harm in having "import std;" exist
in general, we should be mindful of the problems that already exist
with "expose all the functions and types, ever" for existing and new
code. Therefore, I think both "import std;" as well as more targeted
library buckets should be considered.

Sincerely,
JeanHeyd
