     Dimensions[m]] := "You have entered a real square matrix."

As in subject: how to build a pattern that will specify that given
argument of a function has to be square matrix of reals?  Tried with
following for "square matrix" part:
  f[x_?MatrixQ[#] && Dimensions[#][[1]] == Dimensions[#][[2]]
&] := ...
but it doesn't seem to be working...

Thanks.
