What would a more elegant way look like? I mean, can you give an example
of a "dream transcript"? What functions would you use (assuming that
someone had written them).
I can't personally think of something more convenient than eivals() and
then solving the resulting equations, but maybe I'm missing something?

PS: Yes, things could be improved in the "solving the resulting
equations" step, but that's what my other email is about.
