This library shows a bug in the 'jumps' window of the IDE.

When a return type is defined in the function name "FUNCTION vector_add AS Tvector:" the jump window shows the function name as "Tvector"... so in the case of this library there are six jumps all called "Tvector"... the actual jump works fine though.

This is in the first  normalize function, i dont think its right


Other than that, this library will be useful in making my flight simulator, possibly, later this year :)
Bing ChatGpt is pretty smart :O
