Yes, originally the idea was that Blitz++ would provide matrices. But
efforts like MTL and SL have made this unnecessary. So Blitz++ is now
aimed at being an "array library".
Some day Blitz++ may merge with MTL or SL, but for the time being Blitz++
just provides some basic interoperability features (constructing arrays
from pointers + strides, etc.)
