Hi all,
I have been using the Map objects a lot lately, and I have seen that
often, a simple mistake of mapping a const pointer as, say, MatrixXd.
Obviously, this leads to a big compiler error, which is often
difficult to decipher. I propose that a small error string be added to
Map object, which will aid debugging. Something similar to
"you_mixed_different_types_use_cast_function".
This could prove very helpful. I know 3.2 beta is being planned, just
how big a change is this?
