#Check fit4
#
# The first model has random effects of 1 + trt | inst.
# The second form is 1 | inst/trt.  The test is to make them
#   the same using variance matrices for the second.
#
# The first has 18 dummy variables i1-i9 and t1-t9, the second has
#   g1-g18, one per group.
# Arithmetic on the dummys shows that g1= i1-t1, g2 = t1, g3=i2-t2, g4=t2,
#   etc.  So 
#    var(g1) =     var(i1) + var(t1) - 2*cov(i1,t1)
#    var(g2) =     var(t1)
#    cov(g1,g2) =  cov(i1,t1) - var(t1)
#
# So if we model g, we get a covariance that is a set of 2x2 blocks
#        a+b-c  c-b
#        c-b    b
# which can be written as a*mat1 + b*mat2 + c*mat3 for 3 constructed matrices
