you should really look at mpwrap from genius ... those could actually be
separated into a library, they provide a much more higher level interface to
gmp, which is consistent across all the gmp types, and also it can do complex
numbers, and copy on write.

no ... it behaves as it should, the first one definately, try to write it out
with returns

a = [1,2
     3,4]
[a,5
 6,7]

should expand to
[1 2 5
 3 4 5
 6 6 7]

the second one is defined weirdly and I don't know what the exact correct
semantics for that would be, it is:

a = [1,2
     3,4]
[a,5,6,7
 8,9,10]

first we do this:

[a,5,6,7
 8,9,10,0]

then a is expanded as before

[1 2 5 6 7
 3 4 5 6 7
 8 8 9 10 0]
