I don't think 'Grid' is not a good name for the type. The term 
Grid is generally used to refer to any sort of grid; regular, 
semiregular, irregular, unstructured, curvilinear etc. etc. 
grids. They are all very different in their use and internal 
representations. Often a grid will have support for metadata at 
each point (GIS etc.) whereas a matrix will not.

I think the word Matrix is a better fit, because that is what 
they these types are.
