Hm... it would seem nobody has an immediate solution, and reviewing
the current UCD list make me suspect there's nothing remotely
matching -- although I have to admit that I've no clue of PSRFITS...
Does what you'd like to annotate have a complex part because of phase
information in a fourier transform?  If so, perhaps stat.fourier
could remotely work?

With that caveat, I suppose the Right Thing™ to do would be to
propose a new UCD.  This is less of a hassle than it might sound like

However, I suppose it would be a good idea to discuss the RFM here
first before handing it over to Semantics.
