Not always true...many languages support column-major order 
(Fortran, most obviously). The Eigen C++ library allows the user 
to specify row major or column major. I had brought this up with 
Ilya early on in mir and he thought it would increase complexity 
to allow both and could also require more memory. So mir is row 
major.
