+     This value offers improved handling for overflow in intermediate

+     handled in some cases.
+   * ``full`` Implementation of complex division and multiplication using a
+     call to runtime library functions (generally the case, but the BE might
+     sometimes replace the library call if it knows enough about the potential
+     range of the inputs). Overflow and non-finite values are handled by the
+     library implementation. For the case of multiplication overflow will occur in
+     accordance with normal floating-point rules.
+   * ``promoted`` Implementation of complex division using algebraic formulas at
+     higher precision. Overflow is handled. Non-finite values are handled in some
+     cases. If the target does not have native support for a higher precision
+     data type, an implementation for the complex operation will be used to provide
+     improved guards against intermediate overflow, but overflow and underflow may
+     still occur in some cases. NaN and infinite and  values are not handled.
