Describe the feature

This is a parent issue for supporting using complex numbers and lists in kernel functions.

The work is split up into the following parts:

• Support complex numbers and lists of complex numbers defined inside, passed as parameters, or captured by kernel functions

  • Support complex numbers and lists of complex numbers defined inside, passed as parameters, or captured by kernel #1548
  • Support using complex inside kernel functions #1550

• Support np.complex arrays defined inside, passed as parameters, or captured by kernel

  • Support numpy arrays uses inside kernel functions #1523

• Consider supporting half or quad precision complex and float numbers

  • TODO

• Return complex numbers from kernel functions

  • [Python] Support returning complex numbers from python kernels #1608
  • [python] Support returning complex numbers from python #1610

@annagrin This one may be complete now too. Please close if warranted.

Closing this as done, since np arrays are tracked separately.
