Trait failes are merged in three files:
* operations.rs - for low-level matrix/vector operations
* geometry.rs - for operations with a clear, broadly known geometric meaning.
* structure.rs - for operations to access/alter the object inner structures.
Specialisations are moved to the `spec` folder.
Those traits are not really removed since rust cannot handle those multiple operator overloading
very well yet, making them sometimes unuseable on generic code.
This is the same as Vec3 but with an extra field for padding. This is useful for applications
needing a power-of-two number of arguments (typically mixed CPU/GPU applications).
The corresponding matrix is not yet implemented.
The goal is to make traits less fine-grained for vectors, and reduce the amount of `use`.
- Scalar{Mul, Div} are removed, replaced by Mul<N, V> and Div<N, V>,
- Ring and DivisionRing are removed. Use Num instead.
- VectorSpace, Dot, and Norm are removed, replaced by the new, higher-level traits.
Add four traits:
- Vec: common operations on vectors. Replaces VectorSpace and Dot.
- AlgebraicVec: Vec + the old Norm trait.
- VecExt: Vec + every other traits vectors implement.
- AlgebraicVecExt: AlgebraicVec + VecExt.
Now, access to vector components are x, y, z, w, a, b, ... instead of at[i].
The method at(i) has the same (read only) effect as the old at[i].
Now, access to matrix components are m11, m12, ... instead of mij[offset(i, j)]...
The method at((i, j)) has the same effect as the old mij[offset(i, j)].
Automatic implementation of all traits the compiler supports has been added on the #[deriving]
clause for both matrices and vectors.
Column: to access a matrix column.
Homogeneous: to convert a matrix/vector from/to homogenous coordinates.
Indexable: to access a matrix/vector element using indices.
