If N.ones(2) were treated as a row vector,
matrix multiplication is not possible.
So the question is what should happen.
I would like an exception raised.
The current behavior is lmost certainly not desirable,
although it has the virute of matching ``dot``.
>>> N.dot(I,N.ones(2))
matrix([[ 1., 1.]])
