Nice examples.
I do not use @@@ myself. But interesting that the use
of Total in the matrix case does not follow the example
from the list case:
------- OK -----------------
myList = {1, 2, 3};
Plus @@ myList
Total @ myList
-----------------------
So, I thought it should then work the same for matrix, I should
remove one "@" for Total compared to the Plus case
------Not OK -------------------
myList = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}}
Plus @@@ myList
Total @@ myList
------------------------------
I need to look more into this to see why it did
not follow the same example for list.
