Fine ;) Just have a section in the elusive overview RFC that defines
what we mean by matrix, e.g. not only 2D objects of linear algebra.

With all these RFCs it would be nice to prefix their titles with one
common term (as Damian Conway has done with his recent Objects RFCs):

 Matrices: Proposed syntax for matrix element access and slicing
 Matrices: Matrix Index Iterators

etc. Makes for nice visual grouping.
