/** \class Eval
  *
  * \brief Evaluation of an expression
  *
  * The template parameter Expression is the type of the expression that we are evaluating.
  *
  * This class is the return
  * type of MatrixBase::eval() and most of the time this is the only way it
  * is used.
  *
  * However, if you want to write a function returning an evaluation of an expression, you
  * will need to use this class.
  *
  * Here is an example illustrating this:
  * \include class_Eval.cpp
  * Output: \verbinclude class_Eval.out
  *
  * \sa MatrixBase::eval()

/** Evaluates *this, which can be any expression, and returns the obtained matrix.
  *
  * A common use case for this is the following. In an expression-templates library
  * like Eigen, the coefficients of an expression are only computed as they are
  * accessed, they are not computed when the expression itself is constructed. This is
  * usually a good thing, as this "lazy evaluation" improves performance, but can also
  * in certain cases lead to wrong results and/or to redundant computations. In such
  * cases, one can restore the classical immediate-evaluation behavior by calling eval().
  *
  * Example: \include MatrixBase_eval.cpp
  * Output: \verbinclude MatrixBase_eval.out
