I see that some of you may have the wrong impression of NML. When I say
"vectorized" I mean it in the sense of a virtual "Array Processor" or
"Virtual SIMD Parallel Machine". Arrays of data are acted upon enmasse with
a single math operator. Whether or not the results represent Euclidean
N-Dimensional Vectors is a matter of your problem representation and result
interpretation. NML will not stand in the way of that interpretation, but a
"vectorized" language is far more general than that...
