Sorry -- I should have looked this up first; I got the descriptions 
wrong.  The "subarray" environment is the one that does that; the 
"smallmatrix" array is exactly what David described -- a matrix environment 
set in scriptsize font with tight linespacing, intended for use within a 
text line.

In any case, your question about "what does this do?" in the m-newmat.tex 
comments applies to both.  :)
