hi,

reading the reference for 'vrotate()'[*], I understood that all components of
'B' are used to rotate the point.  yet, with the code below, both points are
identical for a given 'i_'.  I expected different values of 'B' to result in
different "orbits", so, what am I doing wrong?

  #local p2_ = vrotate(<5,0,0>,<45,i_,45>);
  #debug concat("#",str(i_,0,0)," p1 <",vstr(3,p1_,",",0,6),">.\n")
  #debug concat("#",str(i_,0,0)," p2 <",vstr(3,p2_,",",0,6),">.\n")
