I understand numpy.empty, but this is different: an empty matrix is not
equivalent at all to empty. What I am talking about is what is the
nature of something lie numpy.array((1, 0)) ? I am actually wondering
whether it makes sense at all.
a = numpy.matrix()
b = a + 1
does not raise any error, but I don't see how this should be considered
