+STATUS
+The project is not in finished state and names will change without warning.
+However, the basic matrix code is a level where it is useful for doing

+GOOD TO KNOW
+Lisplab only works with double floats and single-floats should not be used. 
+To ensure this, use
+(setf *READ-DEFAULT-FLOAT-FORMAT* 'double-float)

+TODO
+o Check if there is some non-threadsafe code in the fortran interface,
   i.e. array pre-alocation for the workspaces 
+o Find out how to dynamically switch between common-lisp specialized 
+  blas-arrays and fortan specialized blas-arrays. Currently this 
+  is a mess. 
+o Steal special functions from somewhere. What about f2cl on toms? 
+  Or just take it from Maxima?  
+o Added spcialized matrix types, in an ordered way.
+
+Extensions:
+o Symbolic maniputions, similar to Ginac in C++.
+o Threaded and paralell execution.
