The manual entry for NewMat
suggests that it is almost obsolescent.
Should it actually be obsolescent?
History
#1 Updated by John Abbott 6 months ago
Yes, we should make NewMat
obsolete/backward-compatible-only.
This should be an easy change (don't forget the doc too!)

JAA has revised the manual entry, and changed calls in packages
to ZeroMat
Anna will revise the defn in BackwardCompatible.cpkg
to call ZeroMat
or NewMatFilled
according to number of args.
Maybe make it obsolescent ??
