Mandates: decltype(abs-if-needed(declval<typename InVec​::​value_type>())) is convertible to Scalar.
Effects: Returns a value result such that
  • result.scaling_factor is the maximum of init.scaling_factor and abs-if-needed(x[i]) for all i in the domain of v; and
  • let s2init be init.scaling_factor * init.scaling_factor * init.scaled_sum_of_squares then result.scaling_factor * result.scaling_factor * result.scaled_sum_of_squares equals the sum of s2init and the squares of abs-if-needed(x[i]) for all i in the domain of v.
Remarks: If InVec​::​value_type, and Scalar are all floating-point types or specializations of complex, and if Scalar has higher precision than InVec​::​value_type, then intermediate terms in the sum use Scalar's precision or greater.
