Thanks, I'll read your explanation a little later.
I was being quite serious about the MathWorld URL - we need a simple
way to explain what's required, and provide some context.

Good!

Yes, that's a possibility.

matrix is definitely awaiting replacement, simply because it repeatedly
recalculates the same value which requires awkward programming in
functional languages.
