Subject: [ruby-core:65071] [ruby-trunk - Feature #10077] [PATCH] Implement Matrix#row_merge and Matrix#column_merge

Issue #10077 has been updated by gogo tanaka.


@David MacMahon

Thank you!

It make sense for me.

As you said, 

> the name "row_merge" seems to have an ambiguity as to whether it will merge along the rows of the Matrix (creating more columns) or whether it will merge additional rows onto the Matrix

I agree with this, but `horzcat` or `vertcat ` are hard to understand for people who isn't familiar with Matlab.

So I propose `horz_merge` and `vert_merge`. Dose it make sense?

Feature #10077: [PATCH] Implement Matrix#row_merge and Matrix#column_merge

----------------------------------------
Merge matrices horizontally  and vertically.

It is useful and important when we handle linear equations, statistics and so on.


```
Matrix[[1, 2], [3, 4]].row_merge(Matrix[[5], [6]])

  => 1 2 5
     3 4 6

Matrix[[1, 2], [3, 4]].column_merge(Matrix[[5, 6]])

  => 1 2
     3 4
     5 6

# accept more than two matrices as an argument.

Matrix[[1, 2], [3, 4]].column_merge(Matrix[[5, 6]], Matrix[[7, 8]])

  => 1 2
     3 4
     5 6
     7 8
```

* Matrix#row_merge needs Matrix#column
