I just wondered if there is a "nicer" way of generating a complex diagonal matrix than a) v=arange(10,typecode=Complex) mat=diag(v) b) v=arange(10) mat=diag(v)+0j
Namely, wouldn't something like v=arange(10) mat=diag(v,typecode=Complex) be nicer?
Why would that be nicer? Personally, I prefer to have explicit typecodes limited to a very small number of array generators, and have all other functions apply the standard type-preservation rules.
