Pull request #1097 (2018-05-02 14:16:22)

Add complex transpose. A' now takes conjugate.
As mentioned in #1094:

In matlab and octave the expression A' produces the Hermitian
conjugate, the complex conjugate of the transpose.

Now transpose produces the transpose, while ctranspose produces
the conjugate transpose. These are equal for real numbers, while
for complex numbers only the conjugate transpose is of much use.
