Perform matrix operations (addition, product, transpose, etc.) in LaTeX?

Here is some code to manipulate matrices of any size. Currently, it can perform additions, subtractions, and multiplication (as well as fetching individual entries, and transposing a matrix, for instance). Entries are floating points that l3fp supports (16 digits of precision).

% Programming-level functions: \fpm_new:N, \fpm_set:Nn, \fpm_gset:Nn,
% \fpm_add:NNN, \fpm_sub:NNN, \fp_neg:NN, \fp_transpose:NN, \fp_mul:NNN.
%
% Expandable programming-level functions: \fpm_lines:N, \fpm_columns:N,
% \fpm_get:Nnn.
%
% Document-level functions: \matnew, \matset, \matgset, \matadd,
% \matsub, \matmul, \mattypeset.

Matrix operations (muliplications, inverses, determinants) either exactly or with floats (arbitrary precision)

this answer from November 2013 was edited in March 2017 because already in late 2014, removal of a macro from xint had rendered code not usable, and since 1.1 (2014/10/28) xintfrac does not load xinttools automatically.

% NOTA BENE
% use of \xintFor is for ease of coding. In an official package, I would use
% special loops for optimal efficiency (the \xintFor is a general tool which has
% safeguards against situations which do not arise here, like groups suddenly
% closing)

% 10 november:
% Current version has already replaced use of \xintFor by \xintloop in a number
% of places, notably for the computation of inverses and determinants.

% but I leave \xintFor in a number of macros.
% Improvements from using less \edef's in various places
