Inner, outer, or wedge product?

I'm not being entirely facetious here -- one of the reasons that I'm
opposed to operator overloading, for example in C++, is that there
are often several reasonable distinct meanings that can be given to
common algebraic operations when applied to more complex objects
than real numbers.  Multiplication is the most common example.
