how about:
a.elementWise * b
where a.elementWise returns a wrapper struct around a that implements
elementwise arithmetic as opposed to the normal arithmetic.
The operators would return instances of Matrix, not elementWise, to avoid
accidentally spilling a Matrix.ElementWise struct in to ensuing code
unintentionally. With a shorter alias it's rather neat.
auto e = ((a .EW* b) .EW/ c ) * d;
That's a rather cool idea -- thanks for that! :-)
That said, I think it'd be difficult to really justify it as a pattern for
general use. If you're doing mathematical work à la MATLAB, you want a proper
operator, not a trick which lets you sort of write something that looks a little
like one. I'm a little disappointed there's no ready way to do this :-(
