Optimization Toolbox - Equality Contraint for matrix inputs

Hi.
This is more a request than a question.
I was wondering if the function fmincon and the likes from the Optimization Toolbox, could support equality contraints for matrix inputs i.e, for the constraints of type
where x is the variable to optimize and, currently, has to be a column vector.
The work around is, obviously to flatten x to a column, same goes with $beq#$. Biggest drawback is that will have to increase a lot in size.
The reason why I want this is because I want to apply the "same kind" of contraint to columns 1 and 2 of x.
This seems to be not possible because I get the following error:
Error using fmincon (line 301)
Row dimension of Aeq is inconsistent with length of beq.
Thank You.

You might find that this type of structured constraint is handled most easily using the problem-based approach. See, for example, Solve Sudoku Puzzles Via Integer Programming: Problem-Based.
