**nalgebra** is meant to be a general-purpose linear algebra library (but is very far from that…),
and keeps an optimized set of tools for computational graphics and physics. Those features include:
* Vectors with static size: `Vec0`, `Vec1`, `Vec2`, ..., `Vec6`.
* Square matrices with static size: `Mat1`, `Mat2`, ..., `Mat6 `.
* Dynamically sized vector: `DVec`.
* Dynamically sized matrix: `DMat`.
* Geometry-specific matrix wrapper: `Rotmat`, `Transform`.
* Most well-known geometric functions.
* A few methods for data analysis: `Cov` (covariance), `Mean` (mean).
* Operator overloading using the double trait dispatch [trick](http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2012/10/04/refining-traits-slash-impls/).
This allows using operators for both matrix/matrix multiplication and matrix/vector
multiplication for example.
* Almost one trait per functionality. This is very useful for generic programming.

Since there is almost one trait per functionality, one might end up importing a lot of traits. To
lighten your `use` prelude, all trait are re-exported by the `nalgebra::vec` and `nalgebra::mat`

## Design note
**nalgebra** is mostly written with non-idiomatic rust code. This is mostly because of limitations
