I can anticipate one problem: the Pirates will want their three-letter
abbreviation for asarray.
arr() me maties!
Will functions like rand and eye always return arrays? Or will there
be a day when you can tell numpy that you are working with matrices
and then it will return matrices when you call rand, eye, etc?
I don't disagree there's a need, but you can always make your own:
def mrand(*vargs):
return asmatrix(rand(*vargs))
def meye(N, **kwargs):
return asmatrix(eye(N,**kwargs))
