Being new to numerical Python applications, I was a little puzzled/concerned when I read http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=984368&grou... I *think* the answer is: matrixmultiply will always return an array.

Is there a stable view about what type of object will be returned by matrixmultiply? Currently, to my initial surprise, it returns an array when the arguments are matrices. Is this stable?

Might an optional argument to specify the return type be desirable?

Thank you, Alan Isaac
