I forgot to mention a third option: if you're incapable of fixing the
vpa() function yourself, you can raise money for someone else to do
it. I would do it for the low, low cost of 5000 CAD (cheap!), along
with making the rest of the functions in the symbolic package work
with matrices. It's one of the TODO tasks for this package, which has
been queued for about 7 years, iirc.

Setup a kickstarter for it, let me know if it hits the 5000 CAD
threshold, and I can get this done within a month.
