Well, since exact dotting is associative, the parenthesization doesn't matter there; if you're worried about roundoff or efficiency, you're going to have to be more explicit. Unfortunately your approach requires tuples to be treated differently from arrays. Most functions in numpy will happily treat a tuple of length n, a list of length n, and an array of length n the same way. You could do this, and for your own code maybe it's worth it, but I think it would be confusing in the library.
