NCMToMatMult[expr]

Aliases: None
Description: Sometimes one develops an expression in which ** occurs between matrices. This command takes all ** and converts them to MatMult. The Mathematica code executed is expr//.NonCommutativeMultiply $ \rightarrow $ MatMult;
Arguments: $ expr$ is an algebraic expression. This and its inverse (TimesToNCM) are important in manipulating block matrices. One can use

$\displaystyle expr//.NonCommutativeMultiply \rightarrow MatMult$

instead of this command, since that is all that this command amounts to.
Comments / Limitations: None
