Ok, so I was not totally wrong after all...

Actually, I tried to be constructive and help you improve the bindings, 
since I find them very interesting. I also spent valuable time on 
searching information on the web about using the trmv and gbmv functions 
of the bindings, but could not find anything (whereas they're available 
for almost 3 years?). I guess I am stupid or perhaps just one the first 
people who try to use these functions. I'm sorry guys, but because of 
lack of time, I have to move to a more intuitive and less error-prone 
library, for less intelligent people like me.

By the way, concerning the bugs. I coded the test file very quickly in 
the night, since you seemed to need it as soon as possible to make 
tests. I'm sorry about that.
