Well, really, the "terrible time and memory penalties" aren't all that
terrible for matrices up to, oh, 10x10 or so, but you wouldn't want to
use this on anything much larger than that.  Hey, guess what?!  That's
exactly what I said in my original post!

And the purpose/motivation for "reimplementing it better" would be
what, exactly?  So I can charge double for it?  As it was, I felt a
little guilty for posting a solution to such a likely homework
assignment, but now there's room for a student to implement a kickass
inverter routine in place of the crappy-but-useful-for-small-matrices
brute force one I've written.

Cubs win!
