pointer_to_column_vector(), and pointer_to_matrix() methods all into one
convenient interface.  Also made stddev() slightly more general.

This change also deprecates the previous matrix conversion functions.

with incompatible function signatures you got a really confusing error message
from the compiler.  This change makes it so you get a much more informative
error message.
