Humm, yes well not sure its a good idea to have is_int8_matrix, as it
would mean an explosion in the number of is_* calls... Look at bitfcns.cc
and you'll see that what is done is someting like

        std::string cnam = args(0).class_name();

        if (args(0).is_matrix() && cname == "int8")
        {
          int8NDArray m = args(0).int8_array_value();
        }
