<description>
+ 4-element structure that can be used to represent any quadruplet of numeric values.
+ It uses floating-point coordinates. See [Vector4i] for its integer counterpart.
+ [b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, a Vector4 will evaluate to [code]false[/code] if it's equal to [code]Vector4(0, 0, 0, 0)[/code]. Otherwise, a Vector4 will always evaluate to [code]true[/code].
