There is something I missed: what is htr? I guess htr.inv is the inv
function defined before the class.
Another point: it seems weird to me that, in the class' methods inv_v2
and inv_v3, you 'unref' the previous instance of HomogeneousMatrix and
link the 'self' label to a new instance... In inv_v1, you just modify
the coefficient of the Homogeneous Matrix with the coefficient of
htr.inv(self)
