These names are not new, so we should probably not just change
them as that would force a lot of code to change. If we decide to
change the names, would typdefs work to preserve the old names?
If we do decide to change the names, I would like to consider a larger
renaming, to use names like perm_matrix and diag_matrix instead of
PermMatrix and DiagMatrix, and I'd like to do this at the same time as
adding namespace(s) to contain all thes names.
I think any change like this should happen after 3.2.
