I'm adding support for complex numbers right now: it would be interesting if we could make this sort of thing easy for consumers of FloatTracker to do.

Ingredients for a new type:

[ ] write cast function to/from TrackedX
[ ] identify the error values for that type
[ ] collect list of operations to override
[ ] override each operation, add logging
