//! Sparse matrices and algorithms for nalgebra.
//!
//! TODO: Docs
//!
//!
//! ### Planned functionality
//!
//! Below we list desired functionality. This further needs to be refined into what is needed
//! for an initial contribution, and what can be added in future contributions.
//!
//! - Sparsity pattern type. Functionality:
//!     - [x] Access to offsets, indices as slices.
//!     - [x] Return number of nnz
//!     - [x] Access a given lane as a slice of minor indices
//!     - [x] Construct from valid offset + index data
//!     - [ ] Construct from unsorted (but otherwise valid) offset + index data
//!     - [x] Iterate over entries (i, j) in the pattern
//!     - [x] "Disassemble" the sparsity pattern into the raw index data arrays.
//! - CSR matrix type. Functionality:
//!     - [x] Access to CSR data as slices.
//!     - [x] Return number of nnz
//!     - [x] Access a given row, which gives convenient access to the data associated
//!       with a particular row
//!     - [x] Construct from valid CSR data
//!     - [ ] Construct from unsorted CSR data
//!     - [x] Iterate over entries (i, j, v) in the matrix (+mutable).
//!     - [x] Iterate over rows in the matrix (+ mutable).
//!     - [x] "Disassemble" the CSR matrix into the raw CSR data arrays.
//!
//! - CSC matrix type. Functionality:
//!     - Same as CSR, but with columns instead of rows.
//! - COO matrix type. Functionality:
//!     - [x] Construct new "empty" COO matrix
//!     - [x] Construct from triplet arrays.
//!     - [x] Push new triplets to the matrix.
//!     - [x] Iterate over triplets.
//!     - [x] "Disassemble" the COO matrix into its underlying triplet arrays.
//! - Format conversion:
//!     - [x] COO -> Dense
//!     - [ ] CSR -> Dense
//!     - [ ] CSC -> Dense
//!     - [ ] COO -> CSR
//!     - [ ] COO -> CSC
//!     - [ ] CSR -> CSC
//!     - [ ] CSC -> CSR
//!     - [ ] CSR -> COO
//!     - [ ] CSC -> COO
//! - Arithmetic. In general arithmetic is only implemented between instances of the same format,
//!   or between dense and instances of a given format. For example, we do not implement
//!   CSR * CSC, only CSR * CSR and CSC * CSC.
//!     - CSR:
//!         - [ ] Dense = CSR * Dense (the other way around is not particularly useful)
//!         - [ ] CSR = CSR * CSR
//!         - [ ] CSR = CSR +- CSR
//!         - [ ] CSR +=/-= CSR
//!     - COO:
//!         - [ ] Dense = COO * Dense (sometimes useful for very sparse matrices)
//!     - CSC:
//!         - Same as CSR
//! - Cholesky factorization (port existing factorization from nalgebra's sparse module)
//!
