The library is already handling std::complex<double>.
It will work for std::complex<int>, but then you need the other part
of the equation: something in the indexing suite to say that the
vector's values need to be returned by value and not by reference.

No you don't; trust me ;-)

There isn't really a good way to do that, since the library already
has decided that std::complex<double> becomes a Python complex object.

Been trying?  How'm I doing?
