Indeed.
In this case though, it would be a bit of an overkill I think.
Let's use named arguments. If `basis` becomes really popular and we want to make a shortcut we still can.

----------------------------------------
Standard basis vectors are really important in linear algebra.

And we usually need this when we use matrix or vector. (base conversion, principal component analysis...

This is why I implemented.

But I recognize Ruby should be not for mathematician but rubyist.

Ruby doesn't need too academic method.

So If you think it is too academic you can ignore my patches.


gogo.
