An Ada binding is inappropriate. Stuff like this is usually written in 
inline generics in languages like C++ & Ada for high speed 
(which is necessary for the types of program that use matrices and 
vectors.) If you want to do OO bindings to a numerical computing
library, use the Fortran BLAS/LAPACK as your underlying library 
(it's been tweaked for speed for years) and do the OO in Ada.

Alternately, Mat Webb's library has some matrix manipulation in 
it, and I'm sure there's other libraries out there that can
already handle this in Ada.
