[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] default axes

   This would require the second argument to be two-dimensional. I would
   prefer a dot() which would give a scalar when applied to two vectors.
   This holds for 1) and 3).

Good point. I was actually assuming that axis=-2 is taken to mean -1
whenever there are not enough dimensions, an similrly axis=1
means axis=0 for a 1D array. But I am not at all sure if
that is how the current code behaves.

Konrad.
