What data types should linear algebra functions support? All supported array data types or, e.g., just floating-point?
This proposal tries to thread the needle and specify that set of behavior which is most common among array libraries, while also ensuring consistency among the specified functions. For example,
2vectors when computing the cross product (NumPy) or specifying axes independently (NumPy), as this is not supported by Torch or TensorFlow.transposereturns a copy or a view.Are we satisfied with the design decisions included here?
