It can't be that simple: indeed MatrixBase is empty, it doesn't have
data members. If things could work like this, then when copying the
MatrixBase object we wouldn't copy any information, hence the matrix
"m" would be completely forgotten.
That said you raise my curiosity, i almost want to try a small program
to see what happens (but in any case that can't work!) too bad i must
prepare a lecture now.
