\title{Drop "Explicit Zeroes" from a Sparse Matrix}
\description{
  Returns a sparse matrix with no \dQuote{explicit zeroes}, i.e., all
  zero or \code{FALSE} entries are dropped from the explicitly indexed
  matrix entries.
}
\usage{
drop0(x, clx = c(class(x)))
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{a Matrix, typically sparse, i.e., inheriting from
    \code{\linkS4class{sparseMatrix}}.}
  \item{clx}{[optional:] the \code{\link{class}} or \dQuote{class
      definition} (see \code{\link{getClassDef}}; it is of class
    \code{\linkS4class{classRepresentation}}) of \code{x}.\cr
    This argument just exists for the possibility of speedup.}

\value{
  a Matrix like \code{x} but with no explicit zeros, i.e.,
  \code{!any(x@x == 0)}, always inheriting from
  \code{\linkS4class{CsparseMatrix}}.
