Using j for imaginary numbers

I tend to use i for imaginary numbers and not j. In confirming that MATLAB is happy to use either I typed
j
and got
ans = 0 + 1.0000i
so if I wanted to go back to my electrical engineering roots and use j, can I make MATLAB say
j
ans = 0 + 1.0000j
and
i
ans = 0 + 1.0000j

You can overload @double\display with your personal display routine. Or use:
c = 1+1j*2;
Str = evalc('display(c)');
disp(strrep(Str, 'i', 'j'));

While it is a mighty big hammer, it does answer the question.

display(inf) replies "Inf", such that the brute replacing i->j does not bother.

I know this isn't a real answer, but it seemed a bit long for a comment. I'm guessing all you can do is display the result in that format
c = 1+1j*2;
sprintf('%d+%dj\n',real(c),imag(c))

I think I was curious if there was a preference someplace that could be set.
