As Ted pointed out, you may be able to somewhat awkwardly get what
you need from either the QR or LU decomp embedded Solver
implementations.  If you have the need, itch and time, I would be +1
to cleanly encapsulate direct back/front solving methods (with the
appropriate zoo of double[] and matrix operands - see the
DecompositionSolver interface) into either a DirectSolver class or
as utility methods added to MatrixUtils.  The latter might make
replacement of the (duplicate) impls in the decomp solvers and other
applications easier.  Others may have different / better ideas on this.
