Hello! Thank you very much for all your suggestions. A new version of the library can be found at:
If the Matrix type would be parametrised then Matrix.fromBlocks could use a more natural indexing. Matrix.fromBlocks :: [[Matrix a b]] -> Matrix (Int,a) (Int,b) The Int of the index pair would store the block number and the type a index would store the index within the block. Hm, but it would not be possible to store the sizes of the sub-matrices. It would be possible only if the sub-matrices have the same size. Maybe it is better to allow matrices of matrices and to be able to apply a matrix-matrix multiplication which in turn employs a matrix-matrix multiplication of its elements. But the matrix decompositions will fail on this structure - but possibly those which fail aren't appropriate for block matrices.
