I used one today. I have two lists of open paths, and I want to join paths which abut
each other. With special rules when you have two or more choices about which path 
to join to which.
So I used a matrix of bools set to true for joinable ends.
There was no need to use a reference or an iterator. The point of a matrix is that the
elements are addressed by index. Since the number of paths is always going to be 
quite small, packing into bits is overkill, but use of "bool" documents that the value
must be true / false.
