That's actually a poor example, any language can add a
matrix inversion function easily enough, and you are implying
that all you are talking about is syntactic sugar.
But in fact, the "very-high-level-ness" of APL is much deeper,
involving higher order operators, and a very dynamic view of
data and memory. If you tried to make an APL package, it is
in these areas that you would have fundamental difficulties.
