Collectively, the set of values for the above properties is called a <i>matrix
character</i>. A matrix character can be used to describe an existing matrix,
or a character mask can be used to describe the range of characteristics that
a matrix handle may support. The  character mask describing the acceptable
matrices for a matrix handle is called the handle's <i>character commitment</i>
or just the <i>handle commitment</i>. The character describing an existing 
matrix is called the <i>actual character</i> of that matrix. Thus there are 
always two sets of characteristics associated with a matrix: the handle's 
commitment, and the actual character of the matrix to which the handle currently
refers. The actual character must always \e satisfy the character commitment.

When a handle presents a view into another handle's data, it is the 
characteristics of the matrix as seen through the view that must satisfy the 
handle's character commitment. So for example, a view showing one column of a 
full matrix satisfies a "column" outline commitment.

Element type for a matrix handle is always determined at compile time via the
template argument used in the declaration. For example, a matrix handle declared
\c Matrix_<Vec3> can only hold matrices whose elements are \c Vec3s. Also,
recall that \c Matrix is an abbreviation for \c Matrix_<Real> so that
declaration commits the matrix handle to Real-element matrices. Element type
is the only matrix characteristic for which no matrix handle can remain
uncommitted. However, different handles can provide views of the same data
through which that data is seen to contain different element types.

Each matrix characteristic other than sizes is represented by a class
defining one or more enumerated types, where individual characteristics are
assigned a single bit. Then an appropriate mask type (an unsigned integral
type) is defined which can represent a set of allowable characteristics.
The actual character of a matrix is represented via enumeration values; the
character commitment is represented by the compatible masks. The operation
of determining whether a particular actual character satisfies a handle
commitment can then be performed very quickly via bitwise logical operations.
