Let me throw out a crazy suggestion.  One cool thing about matlab is
overloading of the '\' operator.  You can then solve: A x = B
by writing:
x = B\A;

Can we do something like this overloading the '/' operator?
  matrix<double> A;
  vector<double> B;
  auto x = B / A;

And to solve in place:
  B /= A;

To specify different algorithms, you could add in tags around the rhs, which
could then be detected in the '/' overload and the appropriate algorithm used.

auto x = B / ublas::svd(A);
