I don't think the point is to make Python look like Matlab.  The point
is to permit infix notation in cases where the current alternative is
*really* ugly & hard to read.

That problem extends far beyond linear algebra, & an ideal solution
would be applicable to any problem domain in which infix notation is
greatly preferable.
