Re: [Bug-gsl] Missing gsl_vector_size(const gsl_vector*)

[Patrick Alken]

Currently it is recommended to reference v->size directly in your 
program. Similar for matricies m->size1 and m->size2.

The gsl_vector and gsl_matrix structs are documented in the manual so 
accessing the size parameters shouldn't be an issue. The _get and _set 
functions are needed since they are a bit more complex than just 
accessing an element in an array.
