Good observation about the real/complex design. After looking at the code,
I now realize that I never really instantiate the method (shows that I
never got around to using it).

I think that I was porting this implementation from some of my other codes,
but stopped because I was able to get analytical expressions for the
eigenvalues/eigenvectors of the matrix of interest.

So, to answer your question, I have not verified that it works, and
certainly not verified that it compiles with complex numbers. Both of these
should not be difficult to do. A specialization to interface with complex
lapack routines could also be added, but I have no experience with
interfacing std::complex with the complex number representation for lapack.
Any thoughts here?

I like DenseMatrix::eig(). Perhps with arguments to return the eigenvalues
and eigenvectors.

I will try to put together this code and a small example and send it your
way.
