----------------------------+-----------------------------------
 base/Vector3d is the only type of all base/VectorVectorNd having a ruby
 extension which introduces a problematic inconsistency when accessed from
 ruby:

 my_type.vec3d.x = 123         # OK
 my_type.vec3d[0] = 123        # OK
 my_type.vec3d.data[0] = 123   # Fails silently

 The reason for this is that vec3d.data only returns a local copy of the
 data stored in vec3d
 which get modified but this change is never reflected by the real type.
 This is counter intuitive as all other VectorNd types can be modified in
 this way because of the missing ruby extension.

 my_type.vec4d.data[0] = 123   # OK
