bdsmatrix.reconcile

This function is used by coxme. When a random effect is expressed
 as a sum of variance terms (matrices), it is important that all of
 them have the same row/column order and the same block structure.
 This does so, while retaining as much sparsity in the result as
 possible.

array

This is a special case of sparse matrices, used by coxme.
