Cam discovered a problem in the mathutils with expressions like this:
me = Mesh.Get('Cube')
x = -me.verts[0].co
print x
print me.verts[0].co
You get this:
[-0.565980, -1.386673, 0.000000](vector)
[-0.565980, -1.386673, 0.000000](vector)
Joseph put in code which modifies the original object, since script
users wanted to concatenate operations, but I don't think we really want
to this with math operations (i.e., PyNumberMethods).
Seems to me we need two type of operations in mathutils: one modify the
original data and return it and ones that don't (now on three: 1, 2, 3,
"Duh"). Obviously the math operations shouldn't do this, but looks like
we need to "un-deprecate" some of the original methods like vector.negate()
