#' @description Several tools for handling block-matrix diagonals and similar
#' constructs are implemented. Block-diagonal matrices can be extracted or removed
#' using two small functions implemented here. In addition, non-square matrices
#' are supported. Block diagonal matrices occur when two dimensions of a data set
#' are combined along one edge of a matrix. For example, trade-flow data in the
#' decompr' and 'gvc' packages have each country-industry combination occur along
#' both edges of the matrix.
