  git clone https://git.sr.ht/~mcf/cproc
  cd cproc
  git submodule init --update
  time make qbe
  time make

You can think of `i` as a rotation by 90 degrees counterclockwise. You do it twice and the real number line gets reflected (as if multiplied by -1). It is what multiplying by i actually does to the complex plane.
