It also provides bindings for the corresponding LAPACK functions, which allow things such as eigendecompositions.

Note that neither of those formats correspond to the rectangular full packed format. The latter has the same favorable scaling with respect to memory, but additionally a better layout for some linear algebra routines, making it almost as fast as the -dense format. However, index access is a bit weird there and it is not in wide use. Currently, this package does _not_ provide -the RFP format (though it certainly could at some later time). Consider +dense format. However, index access is a bit weird there and it is not in wide use; furthermore, there are far fewer LAPACK +functions working with RFP. Consider [`RectangularFullPacked.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaLinearAlgebra/RectangularFullPacked.jl) instead. \ No newline at end of file
