in TypeTensor:
/**
* Multiply a tensor and vector together, i.e. matrix-vector
* product.
* The tensor and vector may be of different types.
*/
template <typename T2>
TypeVector<typename CompareTypes<T,T2>::supertype>
operator * (const TypeVector<T2> &) const;

One is fixed-size; the other variable-size. Fixed-size operations are
easier for the compiler to optimize, but much less flexible.
