That covers part of the issue (avoiding name collisions). Another
part is covered by concept_map in C++0x, which allows syntax
adaptation so that calls to MatrixConcept::identity() for a type X
that models MatrixConcept can actually be dispatched to loadIdentity()
or whatever is needed without needing wrapper classes.
