Before I answer, can you tell me why you've decided to put vector and matrix operations into separate domains? This seems like an artificial and unnecessary separation to me.
We have a system of specialisation where being able to make this distinction allowed us to replace sub proto tree by a pregenerated call to some BLAS functions or to apply some other Linear Algebra math based simplification.
We also have a covector domain which allow us to know that : covector * vector is a dot product while vector * covector generate a matrix. In the same way, covector * matrix and matrix * vector can be recognized and handled in a proper way.
