phoenix; Vector; Vec type and operator overloading

[tiagolr]

Using Vec type (instead of Vector) and have access to operations like : v = v1 + v2, would be very useful to implement simple linear movement formulas like:

p += v * dt + a * dt * dt / 2;
v += a * dt;

The problem is that the haxe compiler complains about using Vector methods:

var v:Vec = new Vec(0,0);
v.add(v * 2); 

results in : luxe.Vec has no field add (Suggestion: _add)

Any thoughts on this? Can this feature be added, or am i using the abstract class wrongly?

wouldn't you use v + v * 2? isnt that the point of the abstract?

This could be fixed using @:forward to expose functions of the underlying Vector class. Gotta see why that wasn't done yet, otherwise that could be added.
