I stumbled upon https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/471374
which gives good detail on Intel's Math Kernel Library's data
formats for sparse matrices.
No doubt other popular linear algebra libraries have similar
documentation. I was thinking we could start with adding these
layouts to std, along with a few simple primitives
(construction, element/slice access, stride etc). Then, people
may just use those as they are or link with the linalg
libraries for specific computations.
Thoughts?

Are sparse matrices a common scenario?
If anything I think small vectors, non-sparse matrixes and
rectangles/AABB could be part of Phobos before that.
