Description
IIUC, ForwardDiff.jl does not support complex valued function such as x->exp(im*x). Is there any plan to support this? I believe this is possible since AutoGrad.jl seems to support this.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the example x -> exp(im*x) in ForwardDiff.jl and compare its behavior with AutoGrad.jl, which the issue cites as supporting complex-valued functions. The issue does not name implementation files or tests, so first identify the relevant differentiation entry points and existing coverage before defining what support should include.
