Complex "intervals" via conic sections ?

Interesting.

I've wanted to try specifying intervals as RVs, but the complexity of
arbitrary RVs has been overwhelming.  Especially when the RVs end up
having multiple peaks, shear cliffs and the like (visualize them as
height maps on the complex plane).

The term 'explosive complexity' jumps out at one. ;^)
