The hypot is nice and probably well used by beginners. But in numerics
you can and will use very often the squared value as that saves you
taking most of the time taking an unnecessary square root.

E.g. checking the distance won't be done by checking the hypot, but by
comparing the scalar product (which is the hypot squared) against the
squared value of the distance.

So I suggest adding a Math.hypot2 as well.
