#' Callback-based Multiplication of Matrices
#'
#' Perform a custom multiplication of the matrices `x` and `y` by
#' using the callback function `f`.
#'
#' For a matrix `x` of size \eqn{(u,v)} and a matrix `y` of size
#' \eqn{(v,w)}, `mult` calls the function `f` \eqn{uw}-times to
#' create a resulting matrix of size \eqn{(u,w)}.  Each \eqn{(i,j)}-th element
#' of the resulting matrix is obtained from a call of the function `f`
#' with `x`'s \eqn{i}-th row and `y`'s \eqn{j}-th column passed as its arguments.
#'
#' @param x A first matrix. The number of columns must match with the number of
#' rows of the `y` matrix.
#' @param y A second matrix. The number of rows must match with the number of
#' columns of the `x` matrix.
#' @param f A function to be applied to the matrices in order to compute the
#' multiplication.  It must accept at least two arguments.
#' @param ...  Additional arguments that are passed to the function `f`.
#' @return A matrix with \eqn{v} rows and \eqn{w} columns, where \eqn{v} is the
#' number of rows of `x` and \eqn{w} is the number of columns of `y`.
