Comment (by robertwb):

 Both valid points of feedback.

 (1) I'd lean towards not putting matrix back in the name; what if we
 modified some of the examples to use the new format as well? Would that
 make things clear that we're talking about the "same function." We could
 also (automatically) add a line in the docstring that "This function is
 available as matrix.identity or identity_matrix"

 (2) Short of hiding them for all functions (-1 to that) another option is
 to matrix() a {{{__call__}}} method on a class. If you want I can post a
 new patch doing this.
