Which ideology ?
It rather breaks the lazyness...
A vector should within bracket... always.
Of course, you're allowed things like "3*x" but then x is a shortcut for
<1,0,0>.
the only examples I'm not satisfied with the <vector> approach
is for "scale" and "rotate" where it is rather an array of float than a
true vector.
but they were there before the array, so that's an historical reason.
(and scale <0,0,0> is not so terrible, whereas rotate sometime gives me
headache).
Now, I do not understand a nut out of isosurface/function syntax.
