Size of a matrix



It seems to me when I was writing some state variable code years ago,
I needed to keep track of the size of matrixes, and I did so by keeping
a list of that information.  A cursory look at the commercial Macsyma
documentation lists functions that were a add on for matlab users.
That said, the following works.
m:matrix([1,2,3],[4,5,6]);
length(m) gives 2,
and
length(transpose(row(m,1))) gives 3.
