#' @title Element-wise matrix multiplication
#' @description Emulates the `times()` and `.*` operators from Matlab.
#' @details This function basically handles elements of different length better than the `*` operator in R, at least as far as behavior from a Matlab user is expecting.
#' @param a first factor of the multiplication
#' @param b second factor of the multiplication
#' @export
#' @returns matrix with dimensions equal to the larger of the two factors

# Converting everything to matrix because Matlab looooooves the matrix

b <- as.matrix(b)
