Excellent idea, now in git.
If Allin approves, I'll update the docs.
The change in git looks fine to me. But is a doc update really
needed? A user would surely never knowingly call nelem() on a
scalar. Now, if you call it on an object which could be a matrix but
is in fact a scalar you get the right answer. That's good, but I
tend to think it's enough.
