## These functions, in conjunction, provide an optimized way
##  to compute the inverse of a matrix.

## Creates a function list for the provided matrix that will
##  compute the inverse of the matrix.  The list also
##  provides functions to support set/get on the original
##  matrix as well as set/get for computing the inverse

## Solves the provided catch matrix function.  If the inverse of the
##  matrix x has already been solved it will return the cached value.
##  Otherwise it will compute the inverse, store it in the cache and
##  return the computed inverse
