#' Find non-zero entries of a matrix
#'
#' Finds the non-zero entries of a matrix in the most efficient manner.
#' Not sure there's much more to say here.
#' 
#' @param x A numeric matrix-like object, usually sparse in content if not in representation.
#' @param BPPARAM A \linkS4class{BiocParallelParam} object controlling how parallelization should be performed.
#' only used when \code{x} is a \linkS4class{DelayedMatrix} object.
#' @param ... For the generic, additional arguments to pass to the specific methods.
#'
#' For the methods, additional arguments that are currently ignored.
#'
#' @return A list containing \code{i}, an integer vector of the row indices of all non-zero entries;
#' \code{j}, an integer vector of the column indices of all non-zero entries;
#' and \code{x}, a numeric vector of the values of the non-zero entries.
