With C++ complex numbers (a library I have looked at quite a bit) there are three categories of operators: complex operations, transcendental overloads and operator overloads. Keeping with that model for arrays does not add up to so many functions. The new class would be around half those, and half the functions already in the current class (e.g. shuffle, range, norm) some of which are already operator overloads.
