Re: st:weave two matrices row by row

[Tirthankar Chakravarty <tirthankar.chakravarty@gmail.com>]

Matrix multiplication is probably the most memory-efficient and
generalisable way of doing this:
*************************************
clear*
mata
mA = runiform(10, 8)
mB = runiform(10, 8)
mD = (designmatrix(range(1, 19, 2))'\J(1, 10, 0))*mA +
designmatrix(range(2, 20, 2))'*mB
mD
end

To every ω-consistent recursive class κ of formulae there correspond
recursive class signs r, such that neither v Gen r nor Neg(v Gen r)
belongs to Flg(κ) (where v is the free variable of r).
