Neat :) I had almost the same idea when I was trying to figure out whether every matrix is the sum of a symmetric and an asymmetric matrix.

The decomposition being very similar: A = (A + A')/2 + (A - A')/2, with ' denoting the transpose.

*antisymmetric

The matrix problem is of course a special case of the same problem, where the domain is the matrix indices, labelled with (0,0) as the middle of the matrix.
