Research direction
Start by reviewing the standard's existing definition of variance and how complex-valued arrays are handled. Check the stated backend support against the standard requirements, then update the specification so the complex variance formula and expected behavior are unambiguous.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The standard should support taking the variance of a complex-valued array, which is statistically well-defined and unambiguous (var(z) = var(z.real) + var(z.imag)). As far as I'm aware, all array backends already support this.
