If that is the decision, I would suggest A.ct().

But, it this really necessary?  An obvious path is to introduce A.H now,
document that it makes a copy, and document that it may eventually
produce an iterative view.

Think how much nicer things would be evolving if diagonal
had been implemented as an attribute with documentation
that it would eventually be a writable view.  Isn't there some
analogy with this situation?
