std::complex<T>::real
Min standard notice:
Accesses the real part of the complex number.

# Parameters
value: the value to set the real part to
# Notes
In C++11, overload (1) in std::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.
