 Right now everything works on double and arma::mat.  Based on #300, it
 would be useful to support arbitrary-precision types (within the confines
 of what Armadillo offers).  This ticket right now just proposes the ideas.
 There will be numerous difficult implementation details that may make this
 very difficult in the end; those can be detailed in the comments as they
 come up.
