There is an experimental share package amatrix which is an
implementation of matrices using a Lisp array for storage.
Various notations for indexing are recognized: list of indices,
Boolean expressions, 'all. demo(amatrix) shows some examples.
Ranges aren't recognized, although it would be straightforward to add them.
amatrix is an attempt at a matrix reimplementation. Disclaimer: I wrote
it. Unfortunately amatrix isn't integrated with the rest of Maxima --
operations which work on ordinary matrices won't work on amatrix.
Hope this helps,
