The difference between matrices and lists-of-lists is that, in the former 
case, the sublists need to be of fixed size.

If lists are allowed to contain any atoms and there exists an atom type 
for pointing to lists, then another difference is that some parts of the 
array may be "1-dimensional" where other parts "2-dimensional" or 
"3-dimensional" or etc, depending on the number of list accesses have to 
be done to reach a non-list atom.
