[pygame] Re: removing 'experimental' notice from pygame.math

Indeed. Perhaps 'magnitude'? Then we could leave 'length' as an alias. Not deprecate it, because it would be nice to keep true to the goal of the API being similar to the GLSL vectors, which have the length() function. Length is also confusing because... length of the container. On Saturday,
