Comment(by rbeezer):
Replying to [comment:14 mstreng]:
> On the other hand, some people may have used vector {{{transpose}}} a
lot in their own code, or be strongly opposed to this change for other
reasons. You did ask if there were any objections, but that was in the
middle of a long thread with title 'Adjoint of a matrix'. I'm not sure if
people got enough chance to object.
Well, I knew that adjoint/adjugate stuff would provoke discussion. So I
did the right thing and worked hard on that long thread. I thought I had
a consensus and did all the work on a patch. Only when I consulted
authors of affected code did I get an objection. The patch got switched
to "needs_work" - but with no suggestions and apparently just a
suggestion. I don't see this change as so controversial. But once
burned, twice shy.
If you wanted to take it to the list, I would not object. Of course, it
is not your resposnsibility. I just am not too enthusiastic about going
down that road again right now. I'm still unsure about what to do with
the adjoint mess.
> It wasn't incorrect in that sense, it just occurred twice, and tested
the wrong function in the second occurrence.
OK, my fault. Sorry. I just read your change and did not read it in
context. So I understand now, and appreciate the catch and your
contribution.
