Sorry!  No one had said anything, but perhaps I didn't give enough
time.

I'm not sure what to do.  I think it's bad that matlisp defines such a
short package nickname, along with the rather generic :matrix
nickname.

We could do what Kent Pitman suggested on c.l.l a while back and
change the matlisp package to be net.sourceforge.matlisp or
net.sf.matlisp.  But I think matlisp is sufficiently unique that we
don't have to do that.

Would it be acceptable to you if you just added 

(rename-package "MATLISP" "MATLISP" "M")

in some appropriate startup file of yours?  This will re-establish the
M nickname.
