Research direction

Start by locating the existing XMMatrixTranspose and XMMatrixInverse implementations in DirectXMath and compare how they handle the library’s SIMD targets. Define the new XMMatrixInverseTranspose entry point so it combines both operations without the initial transpose, then verify that the resulting API and behavior are covered across the supported targets.

Description

proposal

The DirectXMath library includes both a XMMatrixTranspose and a XMMatrixInverse, but doing both at once could be made more efficient by omitting the initial transpose.
