[Numpy-discussion] a==b for numpy arrays

This mapping is dangerous, I think A+B and A-B might be the only cases where 
it actually works. A*B and A/B (=A*inv(B)) are completely different from a*b 
in python. 

As it is, you only have to remember that every binary operator works 
element-wise.

Reasoning aside, just wrap an all(...) around your if-comparisons and you will 
be fine. :-)
