I don't have an issue with missing functions at this point.

I just hope that we can get some operator overloading so that I 
don't have to write mtimes all over the place. My ideal would be 
a DIP that adds the option to overload opBinary for \, .+, .-, 
.*, ./. Lubeck could use \ for inverse, .+ etc. for element-wise 
matrix operations, and * for mtimes, etc. Very Matlab-like.

Wrt to my post above, I had forgotten that I made the point about 
anaconda already. Long weekend away.

Sounds like something to think about.
