Oh, I thought complex numbers had their own metatable, forgot all cdata
share one.

Yes, this applies here. Also, complex is a bit of a special case
in many ways. It's treated like a scalar, but behind the scenes
it's really an immutable array plus a struct facade.
As a workaround you can get the complex metatable via debug.getmetatable
and set your custom tostring function there:
Err, no ... this will change the metatable for ALL cdata types.
Changing that is not a good idea.
