Matrix Global Registry.

Get, Set, automatic growing, universal get/set,
multi-matrix dictionaries, multi-dictionary matrixes..
add slice matrixes of any type, share one common global key registry
pull up an item from a category, and item name ie a table of info.
same cell needs a color, a size, a string, a value, etc..
all of which can be pulled up with the same group id, and key id.
just swap which matrix you pull the value from.
this has a side benefit of non-repainting and recalculating
when pulling values, changing inputs..
makes for very fast/clean usage..

benefit :

floats = value
strings = names
lines = drawn items
table =table of data items for this key
colors = color for line/table/fill,label..

all of those can be pulled with "get(_VALUES,_groupIDX,_keyIDX)" where only the values matrix needs be swapped, and the same item/coordinates remains for all the possible matrixes that item appears in.

also useful as a dictionary/registry for any given type of item,,
and goes very handy with floats/strings/colors/bools with my matrixautotable
very helpful when prototyping or doing development work as a shortcut.

Notes de version:

v2
Some Speedups, dropped the add functions See "columns" and "rows" library for replacements (better!)

Removed:
addrow()

addcolumn()
