Yes, I think those methods would be useful. Would it be worth to make a 
special case in the getter method like below?

if (row == 3) {
     return (column == 3) ? 1 : 0;
}

The setter method would throw an exception on attempt to write a 
different value in that row (i.e., the last matrix row would be a 
virtual read-only row). The intend is to simulate a complete 4x4 matrix, 
which can make mathematical operations more natural, especially when 
working on arbitrary row/column indices unknown at compile time.
