Further, while AB is not so common, An is quite common (for integral n, in the sense of repeated matrix multiplication). So a matrix multiplication operator really should come with a power operator cousin. Which obviously should be @@ :-)

I think much of this thread is a repeat of conversations that were held for PEP 225: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0225/

That PEP is marked as deferred. Maybe it's time to bring it back to life.
