On the opposite, it aims to be simpler.

As a cherry on the cake, the syntax will work as well for literal values:

function  printc(name)
     execstr("c = "+name)
     //Drucken einer komplexen Zahl mit Betrag und Winkel/°
   Format  =  strsubst(name,"%","%%")+': %f /_%7.2f°\n'
     mprintf(Format,  abs(c),  180/%pi*atan(imag(c),  real(c)))
endfunction

--> printc 3-4*%i
3-4*%i: 5.000000    /_ -53.13°

Handiness is one of the signatures of high level languages.
