According to MathWorld, "in the general literature, they [matrices] are more commonly delimited using parentheses". Anyway, from time to time I am asked about how to use matrices with square brackets in Mathematica. It happened again some days ago. It is an embarassing situation. As always, I sent a solution using $PreRead, $PrePrint and box manipulation. But due to its complexity and unnaturalness for a beginner (or even to a "power user"), I now think that we should have a better, easier and more robust way to do this (maybe as an option to MatrixForm).
