Comment:

 Jason and Harald,

 Thanks for putting this together.  I'd like to finish up getting this
 reviewed.  But two questions:

 1.  It seems like there is evidence of the shortcuts in each of the
 associated docstrings for the methods, but maybe it isn't always obvious.
 Like  `A.I` seems to be buried along with the `~` version and has no real
 explanation that it is a property.  I find students get very confused with
 method calls with empty parentheses, and a property will just add to that,
 so I think it would be better to have some explanation.

 2.  #10471  implements `conjugate_transpose()` until we reclaim
 `adjoint()`.  So that would be the place to add in the shortcut.  Should
 we add that here since #10471 has a positive review, and maybe change the
 definition?

 I can do the above on a reviewer patch in the next day or two if
 necessary.

 Rob
