Properties of vec2 and vec3 objects in OnaScript cannot yet be accessed from within the context of the VM.

Being primitive objects, they need special handling to support field access unlike dynamic objects. However, that handling will probably be faster, if not constant time, compared to dynamic objects which require dynamic lookup for their fields in all cases.

Swizzling would also be a nice feature, as too often I find myself using other game technologies like Godot where I am writing Vector2(existingVec3.x, existingVec3.z) instead of just existingVec3.xz.
