Closes #569 #570
Changes proposed in this Pull Request
Now LinearExpression behaves the same way as Variable when multiplying with a constant containing a susbet of dimensions. Still it is not consistent with addition.
For addition, when a coord is mising we just add 0 (I.e do nothing at that coord)
Perhaps the equivalent for multiplication would be to multiply by 1 (also do nothing) rather than fill with nan?
