### 4.2.1 bigintmat declarations

Syntax:
  `bigintmat` name `=` bigintmat_expression `;`
  `bigintmat` name `[` rows `] [` cols `] =` bigintmat_expression `;`
  `bigintmat` name `[` rows `] [` cols `] =` list_of_int_and_bigint expressions `;`
  rows and cols must be positive int expressions.

Purpose:
  defines a bigintmat variable.
  Given a list of (big) integers, the matrix is filled up with the first row from the left to the right, then the second one and so on. If the (big-)int_list contains less than rows*cols elements, the remaining ones are set to zero; if it contains more elements, only the first rows*cols ones are considered.

Default:
  empty (1x0 matrix)

Example:

       bigintmat bim[4][3]=2, 5, 224553233465, 232444, 434, 0, 0, 4544232222;
       bim;
      ==>      2,         5,224553233465,
      ==> 232444,       434,           0,
      ==>      0,4544232222,           0,
      ==>      0,         0,           0
       bim[2, 1];
      ==> 232444
