I find the notation M.setConstant() odd, because in for example
double y = ... something not constant.
MatrixXd M = ...
M.setConstant(y) // <--- y is not a constant!
I propose adding an alternate method:
M.fill(y)
It doesn't overload the meaning of constant, is shorter, and has obvious intent.
Thoughts?
