The definitions of
*and/for pd matrices are too optimistic: In general, the resulting matrix is not pd (or psd) anymore, so we should not return a pd matrix type (which currently - at least some of them - do not even check positive definiteness at construction!).If a pd matrix type is desired, then I guess either one should use a dedicated function or encode in the type domain of the scalar that it is positive (or at least non-negative).
