In base/linalg/diagonal.jl: line 24 - 27

it defines the following functions:

+ (Diagonal, Diagonal)
- (Diagonal, Diagonal)
- (Diagonal, AbstractMatrix)
- (AbstractMatrix, Diagonal)

So when you write Diagonal - DataMatrix, the compiler doesn't know which 
method to use. 

But for +, there is not such a problem ...

I don't know why they don't define + (Diagonal, AbstractMatrix) and + 
(AbstractMatrix, Diagonal) ....

I think these things need a serious cleanup.
