multicolumn in matrix?

[Jonathan Geisler]

Is there a way to accomplish something similar to \multicolumn for
LaTeX's tabular environment within PGF's matrix command?  I'd like to
create a node that fills two columns in the matrix, but if I give it
an explicit size, then it increases the size of the column to fit the
bigger size.

That would certainly be nice to have.

So far, I think you need either nested matrices/nodes, or you place the
multicolumn node as "overlay" using the anchors provided by the matrix
(possibly using the fit library).

HTH,
