A real boon to the author would be an input matrix type
Something like

type: matrixinput[type] (where type is the type of the entries)
answer: a matrix expression or [[{a},{b},{c}],.....] (if a matrix expression then this is evaluated to produce [[{a],{b},{c}],....] implicitly)
marks: either marks per entry if a matrix expression such as A*B or mark scheme such as [[0,1,0.5],....]

BUT also there would be automatically generated a table of gapfills corresponding to the matrix required instead of the author generating them..

In a sense this is not too far from the m_n_x type MCQ scheme except that the boxes are filled with numeric or jme or whatever answers
