As a regular numpy user, I'd be very happy about that too :-).
I wouldn't -- I hated that in Matlab. It turns out the only ace it's really useful is the two kinds of multiplication -- and we've now got the @ operator for that.
. I just fear it may be too late.
In some sense, it's too late _not_ to have them. It's been argued in this thread that overloading the math operators for things that aren't clearly math was a mistake. In which case they could be used for element-wise operations. But python wasn't designed to be an array oriented language -- so this is where we are. -Chris
