Switching representations behind the scenes? Sounds complicated.

I would think that if you were designing it from the ground up, 
you would have one general matrix math library. Then a graphics 
library could be built on top of that functionality. That way, as 
improvements are made to the matrix math functionality, the 
graphics library would benefit too.

However, given that there already is a well developed math 
graphics library, I'm not sure what's optimal. I can see the 
argument for implementing gl3n in the standard library (as a 
specialized math graphics option) on its own if there is demand 
for it.
