So I asked to see some.
Matrices strike me as a bit of an anomaly. I would expect an N-dimensional container to contain (N-1)-dimensional objects. But matrices cannot have dimensions less than 2, (and in numpy, can't have dimensions higher than 2). So, to me these operations don't make much sense. Is a matrix then more of a collection of matrices than a container of matrices? I'm glad we have the ndarray concept in numpy where these concepts consistently make sense.
