Imaginary unit in Julia Symbolics

General Usage
1

Hi,
I would like to use Symbolics.jl to make some symbolic algebra on matrices.

I have got a problem to express this


using Symbolics
using Latexify
using LinearAlgebra

@variables ω

A = exp(-1im*ω)

This is the outcome (julia 1.6.7, Symbolics v4.13.0 )
