  \brief Matrix Class (Templated)
  \author Tony Ottosson, Tobias Ringstrom, Adam Piatyszek and Conrad Sanderson

  Matrices can be of arbitrarily types, but conversions and functions are
  prepared for \c bin, \c short, \c int, \c double, and \c complex<double>
  vectors and these are predefined as: \c bmat, \c smat, \c imat, \c mat,
  and \c cmat. \c double and \c complex<double> are usually \c double and
  \c complex<double> respectively. However, this can be changed when
  compiling the it++ (see installation notes for more details). (Note: for
  binary matrices, an alternative to the bmat class is \c GF2mat and
  \c GF2mat_dense, which offer a more memory efficient representation and
  additional functions for linear algebra.)

  Examples:

  Matrix Constructors:
  When constructing a matrix without dimensions (memory) use
  \code mat temp; \endcode
  For construction of a matrix of a given size use
  \code mat temp(rows, cols); \endcode
  It is also possible to assign the constructed matrix the value and dimension
  of another matrix by
  \code vec temp(inmatrix); \endcode
  If you have explicit values you would like to assign to the matrix it is
  possible to do this using strings as:
  \code
  mat a("0 0.7;5 9.3"); // that is a = [0, 0.7; 5, 9.3]
  mat a="0 0.7;5 9.3";  // the constructor are called implicitly
  \endcode
  It is also possible to change dimension by
  \code temp.set_size(new_rows, new_cols, false); \endcode
  where \c false is used to indicate that the old values in \c temp
  is not copied. If you like to preserve the values use \c true.

  There are a number of methods to access parts of a matrix. Examples are
  \code
  a(5,3);     // Element number (5,3)
  a(5,9,3,5);  // Sub-matrix from rows 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 the columns 3, 4, and 5
  a.get_row(10);  // Row 10
  a.get_col(10); // Column 10
  \endcode

  It is also possible to modify parts of a vector as e.g. in
  \code
  a.set_row(5, invector);    // Set row 5 to \c invector
  a.set_col(3, invector); // Set column 3 to \c invector
  a.copy_col(1, 5); // Copy column 5 to column 1
  a.swap_cols(1, 5); // Swap the contents of columns 1 and 5
  \endcode

  It is of course also possible to perform the common linear algebra
  methods such as addition, subtraction, and matrix multiplication. Observe
  though, that vectors are assumed to be column-vectors in operations with
  matrices.

  Most elementary functions such as sin(), cosh(), log(), abs(), ..., are
  available as operations on the individual elements of the matrices. Please
  see the individual functions for more details.

  By default, the Mat elements are created using the default constructor for
  the element type. This can be changed by specifying a suitable Factory in
  the Mat constructor call; see Detailed Description for Factory.

template<class Num_T>
class Mat
{
public:
  //! The type of the matrix values
  typedef Num_T value_type;

  //! Default constructor. An element factory \c f can be specified
  explicit Mat(const Factory &f = DEFAULT_FACTORY);
  //! Create a matrix of size (rows, cols). An element factory \c f can be specified.
