/** \class Ref
* \ingroup Core_Module
*
* \brief A matrix or vector expression mapping an existing expression
*
* \tparam PlainObjectType the equivalent matrix type of the mapped data
* \tparam MapOptions specifies the pointer alignment in bytes. It can be: \c #Aligned128, , \c #Aligned64, \c #Aligned32, \c #Aligned16, \c #Aligned8 or \c #Unaligned.
* The default is \c #Unaligned.
* \tparam StrideType optionally specifies strides. By default, Ref implies a contiguous storage along the inner dimension (inner stride==1),
* but accepts a variable outer stride (leading dimension).
* This can be overridden by specifying strides.
* The type passed here must be a specialization of the Stride template, see examples below.
*
* This class provides a way to write non-template functions taking Eigen objects as parameters while limiting the number of copies.
* A Ref<> object can represent either a const expression or a l-value:
* \code
* // in-out argument:
* void foo1(Ref<VectorXf> x);
*
* // read-only const argument:
* void foo2(const Ref<const VectorXf>& x);
* \endcode
*
* In the in-out case, the input argument must satisfy the constraints of the actual Ref<> type, otherwise a compilation issue will be triggered.
* By default, a Ref<VectorXf> can reference any dense vector expression of float having a contiguous memory layout.
* Likewise, a Ref<MatrixXf> can reference any column-major dense matrix expression of float whose column's elements are contiguously stored with
* the possibility to have a constant space in-between each column, i.e. the inner stride must be equal to 1, but the outer stride (or leading dimension)
* can be greater than the number of rows.
*
* In the const case, if the input expression does not match the above requirement, then it is evaluated into a temporary before being passed to the function.
* Here are some examples:
* \code
* MatrixXf A;
* VectorXf a;
* foo1(a.head()); // OK
* foo1(A.col()); // OK
* foo1(A.row()); // Compilation error because here innerstride!=1
* foo2(A.row()); // Compilation error because A.row() is a 1xN object while foo2 is expecting a Nx1 object
* foo2(A.row().transpose()); // The row is copied into a contiguous temporary
* foo2(2*a); // The expression is evaluated into a temporary
* foo2(A.col().segment(2,4)); // No temporary
* \endcode
*
* The range of inputs that can be referenced without temporary can be enlarged using the last two template parameters.
* Here is an example accepting an innerstride!=1:
* \code
* // in-out argument:
* void foo3(Ref<VectorXf,0,InnerStride<> > x);
* foo3(A.row()); // OK
* \endcode
* The downside here is that the function foo3 might be significantly slower than foo1 because it won't be able to exploit vectorization, and will involve more
* expensive address computations even if the input is contiguously stored in memory. To overcome this issue, one might propose to overload internally calling a
* template function, e.g.:
* \code
* // in the .h:
* void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf>& A);
* void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf,0,Stride<> >& A);
*
* // in the .cpp:
* template<typename TypeOfA> void foo_impl(const TypeOfA& A) {
* ... // crazy code goes here
* }
* void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf>& A) { foo_impl(A); }
* void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf,0,Stride<> >& A) { foo_impl(A); }
* \endcode
