However, if I do that, won't that essentially break every current
implementation of Matrix already in the code? (The code isn't small,
and it's a very commonly used datatype... ).

Ie, is that going to require me to overload +, -, etc to work with Real
and Floats, etc? And/or functions that pass in a float, currently, will
need to be overloaded to also work with real, and so on? That seems
like alot of work just to get a memory allocation that is 8 bytes
farther north or south. Is there any other way, or I am up a creek?
