* `vector.divide(v, x)`:
* Returns a scaled vector or Schur quotient.
+For the following functions `a` is an angle in radians and `r` is a rotation
+vector ({x = <pitch>, y = <yaw>, z = <roll>}) where pitch, yaw and roll are
+angles in radians.
+
+* `vector.rotate(v, r)`:
+ * Applies the rotation `r` to `v` and returns the result.
+ * `vector.rotate({x = 0, y = 0, z = 1}, r)` and
+ `vector.rotate({x = 0, y = 1, z = 0}, r)` return vectors pointing
+ forward and up relative to an entity's rotation `r`.
+* `vector.rotate_around_axis(v1, v2, a)`:
+ * Returns `v1` rotated around axis `v2` by `a` radians according to
+ the right hand rule.
+* `vector.dir_to_rotation(direction[, up])`:
+ * Returns a rotation vector for `direction` pointing forward using `up`
+ as the up vector.
+ * If `up` is omitted, the roll of the returned vector defaults to zero.
+ * Otherwise `direction` and `up` need to be vectors in a 90 degree angle to each other.
