Now, that doesn't sound like something that can get neatly meshed into
the Cauchy matrix scheme, I assume. It is somewhat nice to have a
scheme which is arbitrarily expandable without having to fall back to
dual parity during the restripe operation. It probably also reduces the
amount of code necessary.
