As I plan to do.

I don't know which representation is better, but I think that changing
it after the code is written is really simple.

Why not a new module? I think a new module (called gr_vector_normalizer,
maybe?) is the best solution to preserve the generality of the library.

Ugly English today... sorry. I hope you understand me! :)
