[Numpy-discussion] try to solve issue #2649 and revisit #473

[huangkandiy at gmail.com]

I know matrix will call the dot function of ndarray. However, that will not
give the answer we expect. A 5*5 matrix multiplies another matrix, we
expect answer to be error or a 5*? matrix, not a 1*5 matrix.

As ticket 2649 said, I * I * x or I.dot(I.dot(x)) should be as same as I *
x. But it will return an error because I and I.dot(x) are not aligned.
