Attaching lables to matrices

[Worik]

Is there a way to associate names with rows and columns of matrices?

I would like to be able to read a file like...

,  C1, C2
R1, 1,  2
R2, 3,  4

And have a matrix [1,2;3,4] with the associated names attached.

I was doing some financial analysis and spent a lot of time trying to
ensure that there was no row or column swapping.  

cheers
