Hi Slavomir,

signum has a natural generalization for vectors.
signum v = vector with the same direction as v but with |v| = 1
where |v| is the absolute length of v. The problematic function in Num
is abs. Ideally abs should be defined as:
abs v = |v|
but its type is Float3 -> Float while the Num class requires Float3 -> Float3.
Cheers,
