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

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...
