This caught me by surprise: julia> ones(10)*ones(1,10) ERROR: DimensionMismatch("Cannot left-multiply a matrix by a vector") Stacktrace: [1] *(::Array{Float64,1}, ::Array{Float64,2}) at ./linalg/rowvector.jl:157 Is this a bug, or intentional? (I don’t see why this wouldn’t make sense…)

Agreed. It seems that this is such a fundamental operation that it should be in the test suite.
