Subject: BIRD29: Banded_matrix

Hello,

Eric's comments on this Bird are very good.

The proper choice of terms for the syntax is very important
to make the meaning more clear to future users.

Since "banded matrix" has a widely understood meaning that
does not include the extensions envisioned in Bird 29
I vote for changing the name. Eric suggests (indirectly)
using "bordered_block". I'm not sure this is the best
word for it. Any other suggestions?
