As mentioned in #1263, the
SHermitianCompact
type can represent matrices which are neither Hermitian nor symmetric, so this pr fixes the definitions ofishermitian
andissymmetric
to capture this and adds tests to verify the logic on some of these unusual cases. I think this would be preferable to makingSHermitianCompact
guarantee that it is in fact Hermitian, i.e. by always returning real values on the diagonal, because the latter would be breaking.
