st: Kronecker curiosity

["Nick Cox" <n.j.cox@durham.ac.uk>]

Here is a little thing in Mata that tickled 
me once I'd worked it out. 

The Kronecker product 

(1..12)#(1..12)'

is what in primary [grade [ ... ]] school 
we used to chant as the "times tables".

Trivially obvious, I guess, to those very fluent
in matrix algebra, but perhaps diverting to 
some others.
