Another point in favor of multiple dispatching.

By the way, tensor expressions should just become ordinary expression with 
the addition of an index management mechanism, as well as other features 
such as components data association.

Of course some precautions should be taken, for example all indices have to 
be contracted if you take the exponential of a tensor expression (I am 
wondering, did anyone ever define a unique and consistent way to generalize 
the matrix exponential to tensors of any rank?).
