YES! (IMHO)
Why? With a generic finite element kernel, a generic sparse matrix package,
a generic band matrix package, and others like bandwidth reductors and so on
the proliferation of different types for similar things on the same program
becomes completely infernal.
BUT... there might be good reasons _for_ defining it in the BLAS package: e.g.,
because BLAS is at the lowest-level. Anyway defining in the package reduces freedom.
Other opinions ?
(for Float_Type'Base & Co: no clue)
