 This package is a work in progress providing the necessary tools to work with arbitrary dual `MultiVector` elements with optional origin. Due to the parametric type system for the generating `VectorSpace`, the Julia compiler can fully preallocate and often cache values efficiently. Both static and mutable vector types are supported.

 The metric signature of the `Basis{V,1}` elements of a vector space `V` can be specified with the `V"..."` constructor by using `+` and `-` to specify whether the `Basis{V,1}` element of the corresponding index squares to `+1` or `-1`.
 For example, `V"+++"` constructs a positive definite 3-dimensional `VectorSpace`.
 ```Julia
-julia> ℝ^3 == V"+++" == VectorSpace(3)
+julia> ℝ^3 == V"+++" == vectorspace(3)
 true
 ```
 The direct sum operator `⊕` can be used to join spaces (alternatively `+`), and `'` is an involution which toggles a dual vector space with inverted signature.
