str(m <- Matrix(round(rnorm(7*4),2), nrow = 7))
stopifnot(identical(m, m[]))
m[2, 3]   # simple number
m[2, 3:4] # simple numeric of length 2
m[2, 3:4, drop=FALSE] # sub matrix of class 'dgeMatrix'
## rows or columns only:
m[1,]     # first row, as simple numeric vector
m[,1:2]   # sub matrix of first two columns
