Description
There are multiple notations used to create multivariate operators:
When to use the dot notation and when to use BroadcastVector? Is it better to use @. or is that wasteful because it creates some unnecessary broadcasting?
(My impression is that these are due to successive invasions of new notation and not all operators are fully updated, but I could be way off.)

Research direction
Start by reading src/triangle.jl lines 89-128 and compare the dot notation, BroadcastVector, and @. usage described in the issue. Investigate whether the operators are intentionally different or inconsistently updated, then establish a documented notation choice and apply it consistently only after the project’s expected behavior is clear.
