well, I reverted it back because it seemed weird to me to extend a
function and deprecate it at the same time. I don't expect problem as
the extension was never in any stable release and I don't think we
need something like a backward compatibility with development
snapshots.
The syntax matrix*diag(vector) is Matlab-compatible and more efficient
than using dmult.
If anyone thinks keeping dmult is a good idea, I can bring it back
reimplemented as a wrapper for the above expression.

cheers
