True, it is not an e2e test, but it could insure that this is not the problem.

Well, we don't know about the others because it would depend on what function 
was found by ADL (potentially). Given that we only use these functions right 
now in <complex>, and how <complex> behaves for non-builtin floating-point 
types is not defined, I suspect this is much less concerning.
