Description
The traits `nalgebra_lapack::generalized_eigenvalues::GeneralizedEigenScalar` and `nalgebra_lapack::symmetric_eigen::SymmetricEigenScalar` are **private**, while the other special scalar traits are public.
This makes it impossible to write generic code over generalized or symmetric EV decompositions. Is there a good reason why these traits are private, while the others are public?

Research direction
Start in nalgebra_lapack::generalized_eigenvalues and nalgebra_lapack::symmetric_eigen, comparing the visibility of these traits with the other special scalar traits. Done means both traits are publicly accessible for generic generalized and symmetric eigenvalue code, with the existing API behavior preserved.
