Description: Set of functions for sparse matrix algebra. Differences
        with other sparse matrix packages are: (1) we only support
        (essentially) one sparse matrix format, (2) based on
        transparent and simple structure(s), (3) tailored for MCMC
        calculations within G(M)RF. (4) and it is fast and scalable
        (with the extension package spam64). Documentation about 'spam'
        is provided by vignettes included in this package, see also
        Furrer and Sain (2010) <doi:10.18637/jss.v036.i10>; see
        'citation("spam")' for details.
