Oh, I dunno. I don't think it's all that bizarre to have Arrays
operate one way and Matrices operate another way. But, then, that's
just me.
If you don't want to, you won't have to hyperoperate on matrices, or
any other user-defined class, if you don't want to, as you're going
to have to be able to override * for both the single element and
aggregate case. The only real issue then is the behaviour of core
arrays and hashes when dealt with in aggregate.
