Comment(by rgrout):

 If I have an array([3]) (an array with a single value), I should be able
 to take the dot product with another vector or matrix as though I were
 multiplying by a scalar.

 For example.
 {{{
 a=array([3])
 b = array([3,5,6,2,3]).reshape((2,2))
 c = rand(5,5)
 np.dot(a,b)==3*b
 np.dot(a,c)==3*c
 }}}

 (Fixed formatting issues)
