[that's not what you should do.
Have you read on this in the FAQ or help(bug.report) ?
Please, please, do.

No, this is really not a bug report __AT ALL__
You had all this long discussion about how the documentation
can/could/should/{is_hard_to} be improved and end up sending
a *bug report* ?
Really!
Whereas I value your contribution for improving the matrix help
page -- and I do think both changes are worthwhile ---
there is no bug, and hence a bug report is *WRONG*!
Sending this to R-devel [instead! - not automagically via the
bug report] would have been perfectly fine and helpful...

agreed.
I'll put in a version of your proposed improvement,
but please do try more to understand what's appropriate for bug
reports.
