 *  An implementation supporting columnar relational databases facilitating easy
 *  and rapid analytics.  The columns in a relation are vectors from the
 *  `scalation.linalgebra` package.  Vectors and matrices may be readily extracted
 *  from a relation and feed into any of the numerous analytics techniques provided
 *  in `scalation.analytics`.  The implementation provides most of the columnar
 *  relational algebra operators given in the following paper:
 *  @see db.csail.mit.edu/projects/cstore/vldb.pdf
 *
 *  Some of the operators have Unicode versions: @see `scalation.util.UnicodeTest`
