By definition norm is square root of the sum of the squares
of the components.
Don't know why, but in some places you see a reference to
norm (on quaternions) without the square root. This is NOT
the norm, however, the formula is correct, it doesn't use
the square root.
As the _real_ norm isn't really used for anything on the
quaternions, there's no problem in using that name.
