One way to assess this would be to propose removing it from matrix and masked array objects. If the yelping is loud enough, there is apparently need. I suspect the yelping would be pretty loud. Indeed, the reason I started this thread is that I'm using the matrix object less and less, and I definitely miss the .H attribute it offers. In any case, need is the wrong criterion. The question is, do the gains in readability, consistency (across objects), convenience, and advertising appeal (e.g., to those used to other languages) outweigh the costs? It's a cost benefit analysis. Obviously some people think the costs outweigh the benefits and others say they do not. We should look for a ways to determine which group has the better case. This discussion has made me much more inclined to believe it is a good idea to add this attribute. I agree that it would be an even better idea to add it as an iterative view, but nobody seems to feel that can happen quickly.
