such features were quite common on the mainframe BASICs of yesteryear
(e.g. an MBASIC on the JPL UNIVAC, back in '77). I don't recall these
dialects taking over the world; though my HP 71b does support matrix
operations.


As noted by Corbett, the current ANSI standard for BASIC includes such
features.
