In MATH-1045 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1045) we have
discussed adding a zero threshold tolerance to EigenDecomposition just
like QRDecomposition has. This involves adding a new constructor with
a new double parameter.

Just one problem: there's already such a constructor:

    /**
     * Calculates the eigen decomposition of the given real matrix.
     *
     * @param matrix Matrix to decompose.
     * @param splitTolerance Dummy parameter (present for backward
     * compatibility only).
     * @throws MathArithmeticException  if the decomposition of a general matrix
     * results in a matrix with zero norm
     * @throws MaxCountExceededException if the algorithm fails to converge.
     * @deprecated in 3.1 (to be removed in 4.0) due to unused parameter
     */
    @Deprecated
    public EigenDecomposition(final RealMatrix matrix,
                              final double splitTolerance)
        throws MathArithmeticException {
        this(matrix);
    }

Reusing this constructor would introduce a functionally incompatible
change, as the previous meaning of this value was different.

What are people's thoughts on proceeding anyway for a minor point
release like 3.3?
Or, best saved for 4.x?
