Complex Integer16 type conversion

Since 3.10.12.0-rc1 does not have a type converter from Integer 16 Re-Im
pairs to Complex Integer16, is there a clever, simple kludge to feed
Integer 16 Re-Im pairs to a block with Complex Integer 16?  I could read
the file and convert to Complex float 32 (which the block also accepts)
but I am concerned about throughput since this is a relatively high
bandwidth test. I guess I should try first.
