There might be something wrong with my eyes, but where is the refinement
here? Your lines are literally the same as mines. There is no temporary 
matrix here, m2 and m3 are the results, he wanted either between row 
5 and 6 _OR_ column 8 and 9. 

Oh, if you mean that we immediately put back the result into 'm',
then 1) it does not really matter, R will create a temporary matrix 
internally anyway, 2) i assumed that the user can figure this 
out him/herself.
