Indeed, there is no special handling for m.col(0)* x.transpose(). It
is treated as a standard sparse by dense product, and so it returns a
dense object...

To be honest I'm a bit surprised by such an expression, but if you
need it that's easily doable.

As a side note, the following works but fully evaluate the outer
product to a dense temporary matrix:

Vector x(4,1);
SparseCol A = m.subcols(1, 4) - (m.col(0)* x.transpose()).sparseView();

(you need to update your local copy to make it compile fine)
