No, because it also works on N-dimensional points for any N>=2, and 
produces (N-1)-dimensional points.

Special cases of perspective on 2-D, 3-D and 4-D points are possible, but 
keep in mind that vecops always have the same size of output as their size 
of input, so, if you output something that has a constant trailing zero 
and don't want it, you have to remove that part by some means...

C.abs and C.abs- are examples of a vecop that wastes a slot, because their 
second output number is always 0.
