7.10 Package FL.MATLISP

This package provides a Common Lisp version of full matrices with elements being numbers of a given type. Those classes are automatically generated when needed. It provides also part of the BLAS and LAPACK operations for those matrices. The corresponding methods are automatically compiled for the given matrix classes. The interface is very similar to the library Matlisp (Matlisp), which provides a CLOS interface to the Fortran BLAS and LAPACK routines.
