You can blame that delightful aphorism on me ... apparently I
was a bit befuddled at the time. I'll try to make it clearer,

As it happens, there is a separate function to compute
unit eigenvectors, named uniteigenvectors.

If you want to replace the existing eigenvectors function,
please go right ahead.
