Introducing a matrix class to the C++ standard library
summary
Proposal P1385 adds a concrete P1385 matrix class to the C++ standard with static and dynamic mdspan extents storage engines, selectable row-major/column-major layouts, custom allocators and operation traits that perform compile-time element and engine promotion so e.g. float+double matrices yield double results. Implementations can use SSE2/AVX intrinsics or BLAS backends and choose algorithms (naive or Strassen). Example uses: color-space transforms (srgb ↔ xyz) expressed as matrix multiplies; matrices are dense by default.
