I was planning to work on the patch for this; however, is "normal form" known terminology for dividing a vector by the leading entry? A Google search returns no such use. Wouldn't it be better for it to be named something like divided_by_leading, to remove ambiguity and potential confusion?
I've heard the term in the context of projective spaces, where "normalizing" a vector meant dividing by the first entry to get a unique vector from the equivalence class. I guess I haven't heard "normal form" in this context, though...
