Can we add a project to implement advanced and matrix mathematics in
PG, with transparency between arrays and matrices/vectors?  A GSL,
BLAS, LAPACK set of hooks, with operators?

I realize there is the excellent plr project, but to be honest I hate
the R programming language and I think we could really use something
simpler and implemented more directly.

(If I were a real programmer, I would take it on, but I can't see
being able to follow through on it.)
