My thought for R[1,2,3;4,5,6] is that just as we preparse '[1..2]' to 'ellipsis_range(Integer(1),Ellipsis,Integer(2))', we'd preparse '[1,2,3;4,5,6]' to 'matrix_literal((1,2,3),(4,5,6))' where Ring.__getitem__(self, x) could have a fast option for matrix literals -> matrices. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
