//: Decomposition of symmetric matrix.
//  A class to hold the Cholesky decomposition of a symmetric matrix and
//  use that to solve linear systems, compute determinants and inverses.
//  The cholesky decomposition decomposes symmetric A = L*L.transpose()
//  where L is lower triangular
//
//  To check that the decomposition can be used safely for solving a linear
//  equation it is wise to construct with mode==estimate_condition and
//  check that rcond()>sqrt(machine precision).  If this is not the case
//  it might be a good idea to use vnl_svd instead.
