Here is a related ticket that proposes a more explicit alternative:

adding a ``dot`` method to ndarray.

http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1456

I kind of like this idea. Simple, obvious, and leads
to clear code:

a.dot(b).dot(c)

or in another multiplication order,

a.dot(b.dot(c))

And here's an implementation:

http://github.com/pv/numpy-work/commit/414429ce0bb0c4b7e780c4078c5ff71c113050b6

I think I'm going to apply this, unless someone complains, as I
don't see any downsides (except maybe adding one more to the
huge list of methods ndarray already has).
