That’s great. Does this mean that, in the not-so-distant future, the matrix class will go the way of the dodos? I have had more subtle to fix bugs sneak into code b/c something returns a matrix instead of an array than almost any other single source I can think of. Having two almost indistinguishable types for 2d arrays with slightly different semantics for a small subset of operations is terrible.
