\description{
Class \code{"packedMatrix"} is the \emph{virtual} class of dense
symmetric or triangular matrices in "packed" format, storing only
the \code{choose(n+1,2) == n*(n+1)/2} elements of the upper or
lower triangle of an \code{n}-by-\code{n} matrix. It is used to
define common methods for efficient subsetting, transposing, etc.
of its \emph{proper} subclasses: currently \code{"[dln]spMatrix"}
(packed symmetric), \code{"[dln]tpMatrix"} (packed triangular),
and subclasses of these, such as
\code{"\linkS4class{dppMatrix}"}.
