And the same goes for multi-case definitions. You could, indeed, write a macro for matrices, e.g

1
\newcommand{\mymatrix}[1]{\begin{pmatrix}#1\end{pmatrix}},

and then write your matrix as

1
2
3
4
5
\begin{equation}
d = \mymatrix{
123 & 23423 \\
 34 & 343}
\end{equation}.

But in my opinion, it does not really simplify the code. And the same goes for multi-case definitions.
