Pat, I mentioned this in my previous email already. drm.plus(1) completely
misses the point. It converts DRM into an in-core matrix and applies plus()
method on Matrix. The result is a Matrix, not DRM.

drm.plus(1) is EXACTLY the same as:

Matrix m = drm.collect()
m.plus(1)

The implicit def drm2InCore() syntactic sugar is probably turning out to be
dangerous in this case, in terms of hinting the wrong meaning.

Thanks
