Description

It is not entirely clear to me if the extensions for LinearAlgebra belong in a package extension, or should just be a part (possibly submodule) of the main module. For now, it would be loaded by default anyways, as LinearAlgebra is still an stdlib that is always included, but it looks like that might not always be the case in the future.

On the other hand, there is probably a large part of the package that actually does depend on implementations in LinearAlgebra, so I would guess that just having this in the main package is the best way forwards, considering that in typical usecases, projects will have LinearAlgebra loaded one way or another.

Research direction

Read the package's current main module and any LinearAlgebra-related extension or dependency declarations. Determine whether LinearAlgebra belongs in a package extension or the main module, then document and implement the agreed architectural choice.
