 I have some doubts that many libraries do this by default but I'll check.

 Ok, I think it's tbe best we can do. To recapitulate, I'll then
reimplement the tests using:

1. PETE if I can make it work as easily as you say
2. uBLAS
3. boost::lambda
4. std::valarray
5. maybe something hand-coded if I can do it quickly (< day?)

I'll then show you the code and we'll also compare the performances of
different approaches. Does this sound good?

 Thanks,
