[Numpy-discussion] .T Transpose shortcut for arrays again

[Bill Baxter]

Slight correction.

Apparently a.swapaxes(-2,-1) does work, and it does exactly what I am
suggesting, including leaving zero-d and 1-d arrays alone.  Not sure why I
thought it wasn't working.

So in short my proposal is to:
--  make a.T a property of array that returns a.swapaxes(-2,-1),
--  make a.H a property of array that returns a.conjugate().swapaxes(-2,-1)
and maybe
--  make a.M a property of array that returns numpy.asmatrix(a)
