Does PETSc have some functions like A.*B, A./B in Matlab?

[abhyshr at mcs.anl.gov]

If A and B are vectors, then you can use VecPointwiseMult for A.*B and VecPointwiseDivide for A./B.
For matrices,pointwise multiplication and division functions are not provided in Petsc. One possible way to do
A.*B and A./B for matrices is to loop through the columns of the matrices,call MatGetColumnVector for each column of matrix A,B
and then call VecPointwiseMult/VecPointwiseDivide.

Dear PETSc Developers, 

Does PETSc provide some functions, like A.*B, A./B in Matlab? Thanks a lot.
