in my opinion, the slicing syntax should be kept separate from the ‘middleware’ matrix slicing logic ( eg, blocks, etc.)
to give the user the ability to choose his preferred method, and to give you Eigen devs the ability to support different
competing slicing syntaxes ( or user via plugins ).
So, I’d put all slicing related 'symbols’ in dedicated namespaces, eg
Eigen::EigenSlicers
Eigen::MatlabLikeSlicers
etc …
