  /// This class defines the interface that Belos' linear solvers use
  /// when interacting with operators (e.g., matrices and
  /// preconditioners).  OperatorTraits is a "traits class," which
  /// means that it uses compile-time polymorphism to interface
  /// between Belos' solvers and the particular implementation of
  /// matrices, preconditioners, and multivectors.
  ///
  /// A specialization of this traits class must exist for the
  /// <tt>ScalarType</tt>, <tt>MV</tt> and <tt>OP</tt> types.  If not,
  /// this class will produce a compile-time error.  (The \c
  /// UndefinedOperatorTraits class provides an intelligible error
  /// message for that case.)
  ///
  /// \tparam ScalarType The scalar type: that is, the data type for
  ///   which scalar multiplication by a (multi)vector is defined, and
  ///   the data type produced by a dot product of two vectors.
  ///
  /// \tparam MV The multivector type.  A "multivector" contains one
  ///   or more vectors.  All vectors in a multivector have the same
  ///   number of entries and belong to the same vector space.  (What
  ///   the latter phrase specifically means depends on the MV class.
  ///   Informally, it makes sense to add two vectors belonging to the
  ///   same vector space.)
  ///
  /// \tparam OP The operator type.  An operator behaves as a function
  ///   (not in the strict mathematical sense) that takes a
  ///   multivector X as input, and fills a multivector Y with the
  ///   result of applying the multivector to X.
