These are data structures manipulated by the Emacs display engine.
The current matrix describes the current state of the window display;
the desired matrix describes what _should_ be displayed. The display
engine constructs the desired matrix, then compares it with the
current matrix, and invokes the display-specific back end to redraw
the parts that are different.
