Urg. This is another one of those recipes that I consider
is too clever for its own good. Very nice in theory,
but I would never use it in real life.

What's more, it doesn't address the real problem at hand,
which is providing a notation for matrix multiplication
that is concise enough to be used *very* frequently --
like multiple times in every line of code that manipulates
matrices.
