I don't see your point. I've read this as:
This function returns the sum of the complex numbers A and B, being of
type gsl_complex.
Because as I (recursively) look into gsl_matrix, I see
gsl_matrix_add(gsl_matrix *a, const gsl_matrix *b) AND
gsl_matrix_float_add(gsl_matrix_float * a, const gsl_matrix_float *b).
For the complex functions this is not the case, and I wonder how/whether
it is possible to do

gsl_complex_float z, a, b;
GSL_SET_COMPLEX(&z, 1.3, 3.5);    // this MACRO works for floats, too
a = gsl_complex_add_FLOAT(z, z);  // see the float here

Yes, that's what I expected, but for complex I didn't find the code /
the headers for that...
