================================== Distance() now uses SafeSqrt() to avoid errors when parsing negative values, or values too large for ZC to use to perform a square root operation. SetLayerComboS() now refuses to set solidity for combos on layers 2 and above. Note that this is to prevent ZC crashes on 2.50.0, 2.50.1, and 2.50.2. This bug is fixed as of 2.50.3, and the changes to this function will automatically account for this in 2.50.3 during compilation; but this will not prevent earlier versions of ZC running code compile din 2.50.3 from potentially crashing.
