Length is also confusing because... length of the container.
Yes, in Python terms the "length" of a vector should really be the number of components it has. (BTW, there's a similar problem in Python itself with using len() for the size of containers in general. I find the "length" of a dictionary to be a somewhat weird concept, because I don't think of it as a linear data structure. Even more so with sets!) -- Greg
