/** \class Ref
  * \ingroup Core_Module
  *
  * \brief A matrix or vector expression mapping an existing expression
  *
  * \tparam PlainObjectType the equivalent matrix type of the mapped data
  * \tparam Options specifies the pointer alignment in bytes. It can be: \c #Aligned128, , \c #Aligned64, \c #Aligned32, \c #Aligned16, \c #Aligned8 or \c #Unaligned.
  *                 The default is \c #Unaligned.
  * \tparam StrideType optionally specifies strides. By default, Ref implies a contiguous storage along the inner dimension (inner stride==1),
  *                   but accepts a variable outer stride (leading dimension).
  *                   This can be overridden by specifying strides.
  *                   The type passed here must be a specialization of the Stride template, see examples below.
  *
  * This class provides a way to write non-template functions taking Eigen objects as parameters while limiting the number of copies.
  * A Ref<> object can represent either a const expression or a l-value:
  * \code
  * // in-out argument:
  * void foo1(Ref<VectorXf> x);
  *
  * // read-only const argument:
  * void foo2(const Ref<const VectorXf>& x);
  * \endcode
  *
  * In the in-out case, the input argument must satisfy the constraints of the actual Ref<> type, otherwise a compilation issue will be triggered.
  * By default, a Ref<VectorXf> can reference any dense vector expression of float having a contiguous memory layout.
  * Likewise, a Ref<MatrixXf> can reference any column-major dense matrix expression of float whose column's elements are contiguously stored with
  * the possibility to have a constant space in-between each column, i.e. the inner stride must be equal to 1, but the outer stride (or leading dimension)
  * can be greater than the number of rows.
  *
  * In the const case, if the input expression does not match the above requirement, then it is evaluated into a temporary before being passed to the function.
  * Here are some examples:
  * \code
  * MatrixXf A;
  * VectorXf a;
  * foo1(a.head());             // OK
  * foo1(A.col());              // OK
  * foo1(A.row());              // Compilation error because here innerstride!=1
  * foo2(A.row());              // Compilation error because A.row() is a 1xN object while foo2 is expecting a Nx1 object
  * foo2(A.row().transpose());  // The row is copied into a contiguous temporary
  * foo2(2*a);                  // The expression is evaluated into a temporary
  * foo2(A.col().segment(2,4)); // No temporary
  * \endcode
  *
  * The range of inputs that can be referenced without temporary can be enlarged using the last two template parameters.
  * Here is an example accepting an innerstride!=1:
  * \code
  * // in-out argument:
  * void foo3(Ref<VectorXf,0,InnerStride<> > x);
  * foo3(A.row());              // OK
  * \endcode
  * The downside here is that the function foo3 might be significantly slower than foo1 because it won't be able to exploit vectorization, and will involve more
  * expensive address computations even if the input is contiguously stored in memory. To overcome this issue, one might propose to overload internally calling a
  * template function, e.g.:
  * \code
  * // in the .h:
  * void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf>& A);
  * void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf,0,Stride<> >& A);
  *
  * // in the .cpp:
  * template<typename TypeOfA> void foo_impl(const TypeOfA& A) {
  *     ... // crazy code goes here
  * }
  * void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf>& A) { foo_impl(A); }
  * void foo(const Ref<MatrixXf,0,Stride<> >& A) { foo_impl(A); }
  * \endcode
  *
  * See also the following stackoverflow questions for further references:
  *  - <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21132538/correct-usage-of-the-eigenref-class">Correct usage of the Eigen::Ref<> class</a>
