There was a long thread about this back around 1.1 or so, long time ago in
any case. IIRC correctly, Travis was opposed. I think part of the problem
was that arr.T is a view, but arr.H would not be. Probably it could be be
made to return an iterator that performed the conjugation, or we could
simply return a new array. I'm not opposed myself, but I'd have to review
the old discussion to see if there was good reason not to have it in the
first place. I think the original discussion of an abs method took place
about the same time.
