The execution of ´ V causes the entire stack to drop, the T contents
to duplicate, and the real X contents to move to the imaginary X-register.
When the second complex number is entered, the stacks operate as
shown below. Note that v lifts both stacks.

A second method of entering complex numbers is to enter the imaginary
part first, then use } and −. This method is illustrated under
Entering Complex Numbers with −, page 127.
