Matrix Definition

A matrix definition is syntactic sugar to define matrix literals at the top level.

The syntax of a matrix definition is

defmatrix name :: type = {
    name, name -> number,
    ...
};

This syntactic sugar for a make_matrix call. For example,

defmatrix my_matrix :: X!u per Y!v = {
    foo, bar -> 123,
    foo, baz -> 456,
    ...
};

combines the following declaration and definition

declare my_matrix :: X!u per Y!v;

define my_matrix =
    make_matrix([
        tuple(X@foo, Y@bar, 123),
        tuple(X@foo, Y@baz, 456)
    ]) * |X!u per Y!v|;
