-   * (for a GaussianFactor this assembles the augmented matrix).
-   *
-   * Next, this function calls the factor's eliminateFirst() function, which
-   * factorizes the factor into a conditional on the first variable and a
-   * factor on the remaining variables.  In addition, this function updates the
