Perhaps this is really a personal preference, but in maths I really dislike ambiguity. There are is just way better notation for this. For example Einstein notation or Rici calculus? Besides being succint, it is explicit and well understood. Even just using plain i,j indicies is not too cumbersome. But for a b scalars and A a matrix B = aA + b is not well defined.

What else could 2*A + 1 mean, than this? [1 2] [3 5] 2 [ ] + 1 = [ ] [3 4] [7 9]

  What's wrong with, [1 2] [1 2] 2 [ ] + 1 = 3 [ ] [3 4] [3 4] or, better yet, nothing. Mathematically that operation is not defined.
