Somewhat related to that last point: could an array grow an `inv` method? (Perhaps returning a pinv for ill conditioned cases.) Here are the primary things that make matrices convenient (particular in a teaching setting): * (partly addressed when `dot` method added) ** (could be partly addressed with an `mpow` method) .I (could be partly addressed with an `inv` method) .H (currently too controversial for ndarray) Some might also add the behavior of indexing, but I could only give qualified agreement to that.
