Yes, this is exactly what ublas does. However, the two points mentioned above 
are not defined for any ublas matrix class. Thus you have to use something 
like bounded_matrix and provide an operator==() and operator!=() for this 
class.

Note, using a matrix of matrices cases some other problems, because the 
product of two matrices is not commutative but ublas assumes this for 
scalars. What do you want to do with a sparse matrix of sparse matrices?
