organize_args

Organizes arguments of binary (2 arguments) <code>_byname</code> functions.
Actions performed are:<ul>
<li>if only one argument is a list, make the other argument also a list of equal length.</li>
<li>if both arguments are lists, ensure that they are same length.</li>
<li>if one argument is a matrix and the other is a constant, make the constant into a matrix.</li>
<li>ensures that row and column types match for <code>typematch_margins</code>.</li>
<li>ensures that list item names match if both <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> are lists;
no complaints are made if neither <code>a</code> nor <code>b</code> has names.</li>
<li>completes and sorts the matrices.</li>
</ul>

An implementation of matrix mathematics wherein operations are performed "by name."

organize_args function

<dl><dt>a</dt>
<dd>the first argument to be organized</dd>
<dt>b</dt>
<dd>the second argument to be organized</dd>
<dt>match_type</dt>
<dd>one of <code>"all"</code>, <code>"matmult"</code>, <code>"none"</code>.
When both <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> are matrices,
"<code>all</code>" (the default) indicates that
rowtypes of <code>a</code> must match rowtypes of <code>b</code> and
coltypes of <code>a</code> must match coltypes of <code>b</code>.
If "<code>matmult</code>",
coltypes of <code>a</code> must match rowtypes of <code>b</code>.</dd>
<dt>fill</dt>
<dd>a replacement value for <code>a</code> or <code>b</code> if either is missing or <code>NULL</code>.</dd></dl>
