/** MatrixContent is a wrapper for gsl_matrix.
 *
 * The GNU Scientific Library contaisn some very well written routines for
 * linear algebra problems. However, it's syntax is C and hence it does not
 * lend itself to readable written code, i.e. C = A * B, where A, B, and C
 * are all matrices. Writing code this way is very convenient, concise and
 * also in the same manner as one would type in MatLab.
 * However, with C++ and its feature to overload functions and its operator
 * functions such syntax is easy to create.
 *
 * Hence, this class is a C++ wrapper to gsl_matrix. There already some other
 * libraries, however they fall short for the following reasons:
 * -# gslwrap: not very well written and uses floats instead of doubles
 * -# gslcpp: last change is from 2007 and only very few commits
 * -# o2scl: basically, the same functionality as gsl only written in C++,
 *    however it uses GPLv3 license which is inconvenient for MoleCuilder.
 *
 * <h1>Howto use MatrixContent</h1>
 *
 * One should not use MatrixContent directly but either have it as a member
 * variable in a specialized class or inherit from it.
