+1.
How about adding a function to matrix0.pyx that sets a global variable
in that file to the left and right delimiters for matrices?
sage.matrix.matrix0.set_latex_delimiters('[',']')
would set them. That's minimally intrusive. Later on somebody could
come up with some grand scheme for customizing latex output, but
please don't until there are a few more use cases.
