[SciPy-dev] numpy.cumproduct() documentation: bug?

[dmitrey]

I started to modify the page, but I noticed that python cumsum, cumprod, 
diff behavior differs from MATLAB one.
for example,

a
array([[1, 2],
       [3, 4],
       [5, 6]])

cumsum(a)
array([ 1,  3,  6, 10, 15, 21])

octave> cumsum([1 2; 3 4; 5 6])
ans =

   1   2
   4   6
   9  12

diff(a)
array([[1],
       [1],
       [1]])

octave> diff([1 2; 3 4; 5 6])
ans =

  2  2
  2  2

Also, cumsum missed "out" description:
help(cumsum):
cumsum(x, axis=None, dtype=None, out=None)
    Sum the array over the given axis.

So let the description in the matlab webpage will be done by someone 
else, ok? Or just let it be scipped for now.
Regards, D.
