  // Template:
  //   Scalar  scalar data type for sparse matrices like double or int
  //   Mat  matrix type for all matrices (e.g. MatrixXd, SparseMatrix)
  //   MatC  matrix type for ouput matrix (e.g. MatrixXd) needs to support
  //     resize
  // Inputs:
  //   A  first input matrix
  //   B  second input matrix
  //   dim  dimension along which to concatenate, 0 or 1
  // Outputs:
  //   C  output matrix
