Actually I think I see why bubbling exceptions is better than performing
boolean checks...so just ignore, unless there is some merit to it...

Hi,
I'm working on making the linear package standalone. The methods that perform
precondition checks for matrix operations throw exceptions (See below). An
option would be return a boolean instead. Obviously I would love it if CM
adopts the code at some point, so I want to check whether changing the
interface is going to kill kittens.
