The present situation, in which the vect package redefines ".",
is really a mess. If vect needs a commutative scalar product
operator, then it should define a new one.
I think there was some work along those lines a while ago;
I guess it's time to finish it. You proposed some changes to
vect.mac and I think other people made suggestions too.
I think changing vect.mac is very much preferable to trying
to work around the current strange behavior.
