// Block structure objects are used to carry information about the
// dense block structure of sparse matrices. The BlockSparseMatrix
// object uses the BlockStructure objects to keep track of the matrix
// structure and operate upon it. This allows us to use more cache
// friendly block oriented linear algebra operations on the matrix
// instead of accessing it one scalar entry at a time.
