That's what generics are made for.
But you will have a single matrix type of a fixed size.

I you don't want a fixed size type, the best I will think about, would
be to create an abstract matrix type which will be implemented on a
one dimensional array. You could use slice in the implementation.

Ex. for a 2x2 matrix, you will use a 1 .. 4 array of Float. You may
define a swap row method which will move items from 1 .. 2 to 3 .. 4
and vice-versa.

You will be able to use slice optimized operations.

Tell me if you need a more concrete example (I confess I'm a bit terse
here).
