One of the things I like about numpy is that element-by-element  
multiplication is default.  Really, most of what I do is element by  
element, punctuated by a few matrix multiplications (or whatever  
other matrix operations) at the end.  If I had a penny for every '.'  
I put in front of an operator in MATLAB, I would buy us all new  
computers -- expensive ones even.

I hope that, if there is another multiplication operator like .*,  
that this will be shorthand for dot(A, B), and not for elem-by-elem  
multiplication.
