I was also interested from a lerning perspective whether anybody was 
rewriting Level2 and Level3 purely in Chapel to exploit the improved 
expressiveness, capabilities, and so on, of Chapel. That might also 
exploit some of the lessons learned by Dominguez's in his 2012 Thesis 
about UPCBLAS.

It is reported the use of OpenBLAS with R causes clashes with some of R's 
own multithreading capabilities, although it is believed to be bugs rather 
than something more fundamantal. I know nothing about the insides of R and 
only a little about the insides of GotoBLAS so that might be a non-issue.

Great. I will keep an eye out.
