One more thing: how do I do this as a function or macro?

I also think I was getting some strange debug codes which suggested I had an extra

#;

showing up.  I honestly don't think I even know how to write a "function" macro
after reading the docs. I want to have my new 4d vlength macro be usable about 2 or
3 places, so I would like to avoid retyping the whole function again and again.
ALthough I've probably just now done more typing than I'm complaining about, it's
an inelegant and error-prone solution...
