Hi Kornel,

I think this is a fine idea for a SoC project. It's certainly much more
focused than the patterns proposal from your previous post :) I would
encourage you to develop this proposal ahead of the other. This already
seems very clear and would probably make a good submission as is.

That said, this will probably (hopefully) generate a lot of feedback again
this year. I realize that the proposal will not satisfy everybody's needs,
nor will it compete with some of the more mature LA libraries out there, but
I think it would provide a nice starting point for a larger, more feature
rich matrix library.
