New description:
The documentation for the function norm currently does not mention that
different kinds of norms are used for complex numbers and vectors of
complex numbers.
I was very surprised that for a complex number z,
norm(z) == norm(vector([z]))^2^, and no hint of this is available from the
documentation available through executing "sage: norm?".
See this [http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
devel/browse_thread/thread/9f941378a95c0191 sage-devel] thread for some
background information.
