Ublas :

Dear All,

i am just a user, however i want to point out that there is some
standardization effort aiming at c++23 (or 26).

If you eventually go for a redesign (and IMHO ublas has a need of it), i
really think it would make sense to take a look at

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2020/p1385r5.pdf

sorry for the noise
