Three choices I've seen for the new operators so far:
Operators 1 Operators 2 Operators 3 Name
.* @ (*) matmul
./ @/ (/) matdiv
/. /@ ????? matsol
.** @@ (**) matpow
I agree that .+ and .- are not necessary.
I like #3 best (assuming something can be invented for matsol). If not,
then #2 looks O.K.
I think that .* could only mean matrix-wise and agree that it would
confuse any current Matlab users and so we should not use it.
