Good question. The matrix_expression and matrix_container base classes are
simply tags that mark types that model the 'Matrix Expression' and 'Matrix'
concept. They simply allow you to provide type specific formal parameters.
void matrix_function (const matrix_container<C> &e);
Will only match any models of MatrixIn this case C is the actual type of the
Matrix. For example 'matrix'.
void expression_function (const matrix_expression<E> &e);
Will match models of 'Matrix Expression' and 'Matrix'. In this case E is the
actual type. For example 'matrix' or 'matrix_matrix_binary'.
If we inherited from matrix_container<M> from
matrix_expression<matrix_container<M> >
then the above would not be true. Then the E of expression_function(matrix)
would be matrix_container<M> which is not what we want.
Do you have a concete example the problem as you see it.
