Can you be more specific on this "naturalness"? What is the cost of being explicit (in actual practice)? I am inclined to claim that this seems "natural" to us only when we abuse language and forget that our column vectors and row vectors are in fact matrices with two dimensions/axes. In what situation does a need or major convenience from being so implicit arise?
