I agree that one will have to first define "symmetry" for higher-order tensors. Perhaps one solution, at least for the 4th-order tensors, could be to have a function 'symmetrize()' (or some other name) with additional arguments specifying the type of symmetry, i.e. the so-called - minor symmetry (A_{ijkl} = A_{ijlk} = A_{jikl} = A_{jilk}) or the major symmetry (A_{ijkl} = A_{klij}) or both. I'll try to write a patch.

Great, we look forward to it! I think the additional argument is a good 
approach.

Best
