Oh, a couple more things I just thought of:

> public protocol Arithmetic: Equatable, IntegerLiteralConvertible {

If your goals include supporting complex numbers, how is IntegerLiteralConvertible going to fit in there?

>   /// Initialize to zero
>   init()

0 is valuable as the additive identity. Should there also be a way to get 1, the multiplicative identity? If you need both, should these be static properties instead of initializers?
