I may not have been clear enough. My ideal solution wouldn't make
any changes to that densematrix.d file, just the interface. So I
don't have any issue with the matrix modules doing the math and
the app doing the printing.
For instance, consider the traits in Rust
https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/first-edition/traits.html
My idea is like making the interfaces in D similar to the traits
in Rust (or at least having the option to do something similar
with them). Your @method void _print(Matrix m) would be similar
to impl print for Matrix in Rust.
Nevertheless, I get that it may be a difficult thing to implement.
