Description
The first paragraph of http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/libs/numeric/ublas/doc/triangular.htm#triangular_matrix describes when elements of lower and upper triangular matrices are fixed at 0, The definition is transposed from what I have always understood to define lower/upper triangular. With the given definition, a lower triangular matrix has enforced zeros in the lower triangular portion (when i>j). To me, that is an upper triangular matrix. Oh, I just looked at a little bit of the code and I think it does what the document says -- i.e., the wrong thing. So, this ticket should apply to numeric/ublas software also.
