I must admit that I don't use Calc very often, and read its manual even
less often, so clearly I'm taking this out of context, but in any case:
To me a "vector" has a rather specific meaning, and taking the root mean
square of a vector doesn't make much sense. Instead, I like to take the
rms of a *set* of numbers (which may be provided by packaging them in
a vector, of course).
