Hi,

thank you Hauke for your effort on writing this page.

I don't think this is an advanced topic, and to be safe, every
argument should be systematically converted to their nested type:

template<typename Derived> void foo(const MatrixBase<Derived>& _x)
{
  typename Derived::Nested x (_x);

  // use x, not _x
}

For advanced user we should also explain ei_nested which is preferred
if the argument is used more than once. Since ei_nested is mostly
internal, maybe we should also add a slightly higher level public
wrapper....
