Don’t worry: IIRC, that operator isn’t accepted by Swift 4, so it wouldn’t be the topic of the first rounds of the proposal.

I was simply trying to get across the idea of “design for utility”, and the utility of superscript T is really about transposing matrices.  That proposal would be a follow-on after the already-accepted set of stuff is rationalized :)
