Discussion Quaternion library

[Juju]

Whilst the current beta has some pretty extreme limitations, it's still possible to build and test in it. To demonstrate the new array literals, as well as to experiment a bit with the matrix functions, I've built a quaternion library. It doesn't have particularly fancy features but it does the basic rotation operations competently and cleanly.

Hey, thanks!

@Juju: this is a nice example. I generally just use Euler rotations (or products of them) around the X-Y-Z axes. But the quaternion approach is slicker. So thanks for this example. It's well organized and easy to follow, like other examples you've provided.

(btw, there's a typo in Line 12 in the quaternion_rotate_vector script. )
