 * \brief Matrix multiplexer/multiplier: y(k) = A x(k)
 * \ingroup blocks
 *
 * This block is similar to gr::blocks::multiply_const_ff, the difference
 * being it can handle several inputs and outputs, and the input-to-output
 * relation can be described by the following mathematical equation:
 * \f[
 *    \mathbf{y}(k) = \mathbf{A} \mathbf{x}(k) \, , \, y \in \mathbb{R}^N, \mathbf{x} \in
 * \mathbb{R}^M, A \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times M} \f] \f$\mathbf{y}(k)\f$ and
 * \f$\mathbf{x}(i)\f$ are column-vectors describing the elements on the input port at
 * time step \f$k\f$ (this is a sync block with no memory).
 *
 * Examples for where to use this block include:
 * - Switch matrices (i.e. switch which ports go where), assuming all ports run on the
 * same rate
 * - Simulation of static MIMO-Channels (in that case, \f$\mathbf{A}\f$ is the channel
 * matrix)
 * - Summing up streams with variable coefficients
 *
 * This block features a special tag propagation mode: When setting the tag propagation
 * policy to gr::block::TPP_CUSTOM, a tag is propagated from input \f$k\f$ to output
 * \f$l\f$, if \f$(A)_{l,k} \neq 0\f$.
 *
 * \section blocks_matrixmult_msgports_multiply_matrix Message Ports
 *
 * This block as one input message port (\p set_A). A message sent to this port will
 * be converted to a std::vector<std::vector<T> >, and then passed on to set_A().
 * If no conversion is possible, a warning is issued via the logging interface, and
 * A remains unchanged.
 *
 * *Note*: It is not possible to change the dimension of the matrix after initialization,
 * as this affects the I/O signature! If a matrix of invalid size is passed to the block,
 * an alert is raised via the logging interface, and A remains unchanged.
