Tensors

I've long used the Tensor Toolbox from Sandia in order to use tensors in Matlab, but recently found myself wanting to apply it on symbolic arguments, which don't appear supported. Some google-fu'ing resulted in (non-free) Tensorlab and some file-exchange entries of mixed quality. And of course, there's the recent tensorprod, which a) doesn't support symbolics and b) arguments aren't strictly tensors (rather "representations of tensors in a matrix type").
This all got me to thinking that it would be mighty nice to have general / native / comprehensive support for a tensor class in official Matlab - even if it were in a separate toolbox.
