I disagree with this being forward looking, as it explicitly creates a situation where code will break if .H becomes a view, e.g.: xh = x.H x *= 2 assert np.all(2 * xh == x.H) > > The opponents have primarily emphasized > > - inconsistency with convention that for arrays > instance attributes should return views I'd formulate this as simply "inconsistency with .T"; they are both motivated primarily as notational shorthands.
