Accesses the imaginary part of the complex number.

1) Returns the imaginary part.
2) Sets the imaginary part to value.

Parameters

value - the value to set the imaginary part to

Return value

1) The imaginary part of *this.
2) (none)

Notes

In C++11, overload (1) in complex specializations used to be specified without const
qualifier. However, in C++11, a constexpr specifier used in a non-static member
function implies const, and thus the behavior is as if const is specified.
