That is a misleading example. It should say that the name 'matrix' is ignored or use Lst["matrix"] <- list(Mat).
(And not all objects can be extended by subscripting. E.g., you cannot extend the number of rows of a matrix with mat[nrow(mat)+1, ] <- 1:ncol(mat). vectors may be extended by subscripting.)
