##  The following operations all perform arithmetic on row vectors.
##  given as homogeneous lists of the same length, containing
##  elements of a commutative ring.
##  <P/>
##  There are two reasons for using <Ref Func="AddRowVector"/>
##  in preference to arithmetic operators.
##  Firstly, the three argument form has no single-step equivalent.
##  Secondly <Ref Func="AddRowVector"/> changes its first argument in-place,
##  rather than allocating a new vector to hold the result,
##  and may thus produce less garbage.
