  It seems to me that overloaded operators, making library calls, are
better.  In this age of rapidly evolving CPU architectures, the compiler
can't know the most efficient code to do a matrix multiplication on
all the different CPUs the code may run on, today and during the lifetime
of the program.  So it's better to dynamically load a library routine.
