When you think about it, isn't this viewpoint kinda funny?

We think it's important that `1 + 2 * 3` means `1 + (2 × 3)`, but otoh we're fine writing things like

2 / 3
radius**2
2 * x

rather than 2 ÷ 3, radius², 2x.

Related: it's fun reading the Python Matrix-SIG archives from 1995 (which eventually led to NumPy), and one of the first topics that came up was whether * should mean matrix multiplication, or element-wise multiplication: mail.python.org/pipermail/matr…
