yes I've also been thinking about making the Tridiagonalization and
HessenbergDecomposition classes internal but their current public API
is consistent with the rest of Eigen, and the internal storage is
LAPACK compatible. So unless we want to change the internal
representation is the future (and lost LAPACK compatibility), I don't
see any reason to make them internal.
In the future me might add an Upper/Lower template option to
Tridiagonalization but source compatibility will be preserved my
assuming Lower by default. Same for SelfAdjointEigenSolver btw.
I'm only changing the current Tridiagonalization::matrixT() method
which currently returns a temporary dense matrix to return an abstract
"ReturnByValue" object. In the future we will still be able to return
a kind of self-adjoint BandView (or TridiagonalView) without breaking
source compatibility since the API of ReturnByValue is minimalistic.
