If you use SquareMatrix, then it is clear, what the identity matrix is,
namely 1. So one can just create such a matrix and then convert it to
the generic Matrix domain. But maybe, you actually like SquareMatrix
even better.

(1) -> 1$SquareMatrix(3,Integer)::Matrix(Integer)

        +1  0  0+
        |       |
   (1)  |0  1  0|
        |       |
        +0  0  1+
                                                        Type:
Matrix(Integer)
