In short, especially since the folks doing the work (not me) seem to want plain old octave-style matrix operations, it makes sense to actually do that. *Then* someone can implement an ultra-uber-tensor library on top of that, if they like. And I would be interested in a nice tensor library... it's just that matrices need to be the starting point, since they're where most of the interesting algorithms are (that is, the ones that are interesting to me, such as diagonalization, svd, matrix multiplication, etc).
This is a really good idea. I would like a Matrix library soon, not in 6 years time. Slice it up into managable pieces and keep it simple! Keean.
