Description

Preconditions rank-k updates written in the proposal document are wrong as A must NOT be a square matrix:
https://eel.is/c++draft/linalg#algs.blas3.rankk-3.2
https://eel.is/c++draft/linalg#algs.blas3.rankk-4.1

Similarly, preconditions of rank-2k are wrong.
https://eel.is/c++draft/linalg#algs.blas3.rank2k-4.1 and https://eel.is/c++draft/linalg#algs.blas3.rank2k-4.1 should read multipliable instead of addable,

https://eel.is/c++draft/linalg#algs.blas3.rank2k-3.3 and https://eel.is/c++draft/linalg#algs.blas3.rank2k-4.2
C should be the square matrix, not A.

Which is the correct way to ask for fixing those?

Research direction

Start by reading the linked eel.is sections for rank-k and rank-2k preconditions and compare the stated matrix-shape and addable/multipliable requirements. Confirm the intended corrections against the proposal document and repository contribution process; done means the affected preconditions are corrected and the updated wording is reviewed.
