#' Multi Linear Multiplication
#'
#' \deqn{C\times\{ B_1, ..., B_r \}}{%
#'       C = A x { B1, ..., Br }}
#'
#' @param A tensor (multi-linear array)
#' @param Bs matrix or list of matrices
#' @param modes integer sequence of the same length as `Bs` specifying the
#'  multiplication axis (defaults to `seq_along(Bs)`)
#' @param transposed single boolean or boolean vector of same length as \code{Bs}
#'  to transpose the \code{Bs} of matching index before multiplication.
