The boilerplate expression templates have already been implemented for scalars, vectors and matrices. The original idea was to include the various matrix types and supply algorithms for the algebra that did not rely on LAPACK since Fortran layout or adaptation of it has not been implemented.
Not using BLAS/LAPAKC when you can is really shootign your own foot. No way you can beat those.
But are there applications where you do not need what LAPACK provides? Is this where this might still be a useful library? LAPACK may be a heavy addition if it is not used?
