+//!
+//! # Commentary
+//! This implementation differs slightly from the common pseudocode variations in the following ways:
+//! * Both soft-restart and hard-restart logic are present
+//!   * Soft restart on `r` becoming perpendicular to `rhat`
+//!   * Hard restart to check true error before claiming convergence
+//! * Soft-restart logic uses a correct metric of perpendicularity instead of a magnitude heuristic
+//!   * The usual method, which compares a fixed value to `rho`, does not capture the fact that the
+//!   magnitude of `rho` will naturally decrease as the solver approaches convergence
+//!   * This change eliminates the effect where the a soft restart is performed on every iteration for the last few
+//!   iterations of any solve with a reasonable error tolerance
+//! * Hard-restart logic provides some real guarantee of correctness
+//!   * The usual implementations keep a cheap, but inaccurate, running estimate of the error
+//!     * That decreases the cost of iterations by about half by eliminating a matrix-vector multiplication,
+//!     but allows the estimate of error to drift numerically, which causes the solver to return claiming
+//!     convergence when the solved output does not, in fact, match the input system
+//!   * This change guarantees that the solver will not return claiming convergence unless the solution
+//!   actually matches the input system, and will refresh its estimate of the error and continue iterations
+//!   if it has reached a falsely-converged state, continuing until it either reaches true convergence or
+//!   reaches maximum iterations
