There I was thinking vector-vector inner product was in fact covered by `np.inner`. Yikes, half inner, half outer.
As for names, I think `matvecmul` and `vecmul` do seem quite OK (probably need `vecmatmul` as well, which does the same as `matmul` would for 1-D first argument). But as other suggestions, keeping the `dot` one could think of `vec_dot_vec` and `mat_dot_vec`, etc. More obscure but shorter would be to use the equivalent `einsum` notation: `i_i`, `ij_j`, `i_ij`, `ij_jk`. -- Marten
