It would be nice if CL would recognize `parseOrderedTriple` since [even the Desmos 2D graph happily accepts 3D objects and computes things like the Dot and Cross products](https://www.desmos.com/calculator/s0svzyqsdh) with them.

So less of a ‘how to’ question and more of a feature request.

I forwarded your request which feels like it’ll need to happen if/when more CL functionality is added for 3D graphs.

thanks. it seems like a simple thing to do considering the 2d version weirdly accepts 3d inputs, but i get it if it needs to wait for a bigger update
