                  *  The type of cells is fixed to "double".
                  *
                  *  There are two main formats for the non-zero entries in this matrix:
                  *             - A "triplet" matrix: a set of (r,c)=val triplet entries.
                  *             - A column-compressed sparse matrix.
                  *
                  *  The latter is the "normal" format, which is expected by most mathematical operations defined
                  *   in this class. There're two three ways of initializing and populating a sparse matrix:

                  *    <li> <b>As a triplet (empty), then add entries, then compress:</b>

                  *         \endcode
                  *    </li>
                  *    <li> <b>As a triplet from a CSparseMatrixTemplate<double>:</b>
                  *         \code

                  *    <li> <b>From an existing dense matrix:</b>
                  *         \code
                  *             CMatrixDouble data(100,100); // or

                  *             CSparseMatrix  SM(data);
                  *         \endcode

                  *
                  *   </ol>
                  *
