Ah, right, I forgot. Thanks for the reminder. (I /should/ have known that.)

Yeah, I was somehow thinking of bases rather than matrices. Bases can of
course be orthogonal without the basis vectors being unit vectors, and
vice versa. While we can (and apparently do in the SL code) represent
bases as matrices, as long as the class is called something with
"Matrix", its methods should adhere to the matrix terminology, of
course, so it's fine to stick with the current name.

Cheers,
