Could we change the definition of the gradient of a vector to be the
"normal" definition:

  grad(u) = du_i / dx_j

?
I think this sounds like an excellent idea.

Me too.


Cowards!  ;)  You wait for Martin the leave and then jump on the bandwagon.

I suggested this March/April, and Martin's argument against was for consistency with other operations. I think that it's fine to change so long that other operations do not break or lead to unexpected/inconsistent results.
