provide a method to project Vec4 and Vec3 from homogeneous space

[seichter]

What problem does this solve or what need does it fill?

Currently Vec3 provides extend(w) to unproject into homogeneous coordinates (hence Vec4 with euclidean hyperspace w - maybe I missed it, but there is no inverse to extend() or the documentation misses to mention it.

What solution would you like?

I would prefer to write something like this

transform.translation = view.w_axis.project()

rather than

transform.translation = view.w_axis.xyz() / view.w_axis.w;

My example is now for Vec4 ... same applies to homogeneous representations of Vec2 in vectorspace R3 using Vec3

What alternative(s) have you considered?

Keep writing rather obvious code

Note that Bevy's math types are re-exports from the glam crate.
Bitshifter is open to suggestions so I'd open an issue there :)

Thanks, I moved this request upstream bitshifter/glam-rs#366

As we'll probably just inhale the update from glam when it's ready. Closing this issue as it's unactionable from Bevy's end. If for whatever reason this dosen't get added to glam, feel free to reopen this issue.
