Great, now consulting a search engine on questions about vim the text editor will yield equally awkward results as consulting a search engine on matters concerning latex the typesetting system.
While I understand the idea behind the naming scheme of matrix, it's an awful name. The naming behind synapse/dendrite is better I believe. But I don't have a better idea.
