Overloading '*' and '**' while convenient does have consequences. It would be nice if we could have a few more infix operators in Python to allow separation of element-by-element calculations and "dot-product" calculations.
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0225/ was considered and rejected. But that was in 2000...
While I don't have any spare cycles to push it forward and we are already far along on the NumPy to 3.0, I had wondered if we couldn't use the leverage of Python core developers wanting NumPy to be ported to Python 3 to actually add a few more infix operators to the language.
