How does MATLAB software (ode solvers) solve complex differential equations?

I am wondering how MATLAB software solves complex differential equations (numeric solutions with the ode solvers); it breaks differential equation into two parts, real and imaginary part, and it solves each part separately or it uses some form of transformation like polar transformation?

The short answer is that it will treat it as it is: sum of real and img separately.

? That link only says that it handles it "properly", and does not describe how it implements it.

I guess I meant to say there is no explicit transformation happening underneath.
