Yes (when finished). However, mir-lapack would need to link with 
a LAPACK library. For example, OpenBLAS can be compiled with 
LAPACK as a solid library. We can do the same. Actually, when the 
library is finished it can be available in the dub registry as 
well as it should be packed for Linux and windows as a standalone 
BLAS/LAPACK library with common API.
