I think if you mark the instVar as transient then Json won't include its
state in the JsonString.

It seems like the length squared should not be part of the string

formatter to ignore this field?
The lengthSquared field has bitten us a couple times... I still wonder
if it's possible and better to remove this and have callers be smarter
about caching the value? or did we conclude that was just unrealistic.

Hi,
I found getLengthSqured() method name in AbstractVector slightly misguiding.
As, it is not only getting the lengthSquared value but also setting it if it
is not set previously. Actually, I found this issue when I am comparing two
vectors, though both of them are same, in one place the lengthSquared value
wasn't set (so, by default it has -1) and for other vector, it is set
because the distance(double lengthSquared, Vector, Vector) method was
called. So, when I am comparing the string format of both of them( as well
vectors), they failed though they are same vectors but the lengthSquared
value was different. I am not sure whether we can ignore this value while
outputting in asFormatString(). Just wanted to bring to the notice so that
it will be useful to others while experimenting (especially, in unit tests).
Thanks
Pallavi
