Fine, but make it an option.

No. Triple-punctuation operators are scary, says Python Barbie.
We have a lot of operators. Matrix multiplication et al is *not*
a convincing excuse to add more.
Modifiers also miss the point. How can matrix ops and regular ops be
in the same language? Both are useful, but in different situations.
How about:
use matrix_ops;
to enable this 'consistent' behaviour of the binary ops in list
context?
