Only right multiplying float vectors by numerics is allowed

[franklinscudder]

Version

Using the prebuilt windows binaries, v2023.4

Summary

Attempting to left multiply a float vector by an integer or float will raise an error however right multiplication is allowed.

If this is intended behaviour perhaps it could be mentioned in the docs?

Example

The following code can be used to reproduce the errors described.

import vec

let v = xyz_1

print(v * 3.0)
// prints -> xyz_f{3.0, 3.0, 3.0}

print(v * 3)
// prints -> xyz_f{3.0, 3.0, 3.0}

print(3.0 * v)
// error: can't use `*` on `float` and `xyz_f`

print(3 * v)
// error: can't use `*` on `int` and `xyz_f`

Not sure how you're getting this, since support for this was implemented long ago, way before 2023.4 If I run your code it works:

t.lobster(8): warning: integer literal (3) where float expected
t.lobster(14): warning: integer literal (3) where float expected
xyz_f{3.0, 3.0, 3.0}
xyz_f{3.0, 3.0, 3.0}
xyz_f{3.0, 3.0, 3.0}
xyz_f{3.0, 3.0, 3.0}

Apologies, I checked my config and vscode was using an old binary, I see it works now.
