tovector(str: string) : vector|nil
Creates a vector from a string argument in format <1,1,1>
Invalid strings will return nil
Due to an old error from lsl strings that match upto the closing > are interpreted as valid
So <1,1,1, <1,1,1,1 and <1,1,1spoon are all cast to <1,1,1>
When testing if a string is a quaternion or a vector, you should test with toquaternion first.
