It is specific to cointegration stuff (actually: to the special case when restrictions involve the loading matrix alpha), so I'd leave it where it is. As for the idea of renaming it, I don't see a pressing case: after all, it's marked static and it's not going to pollute any namespace outside that context, where its purpose is rather clear. But if we were to choose a more informative name, do you have suggestions?
