In the docs, the matrix norms defined in base are described simply as
p
norms. Unfortunately, the nomeclature and the notation is ambiguous. It is unclear if Julia implements Holder p-norms (matrix norm induced by the vector p-norm) or Schatten p-norms (the vector p-norm of the singular values of the matrix). Which p-norm one expects depends on their field of study (I myself was expecting Schatten p-norms). It turns out Julia implements Holder p-norms.I don't think the default needs to change, but clarifying the docs would be nice, at least where matrix norms are mentioned explicitly.
