Multiplication of a matrix with a vector is about as common as matrix
with matrix or vector with vector, and not currently easy to do for
stacks of vectors, so I think the case for matvec is similarly strong as
that for matmul and vecdot.

Arguably, vecmat is slightly less common, though completes the quad.
