 				Linearly interpolates between two values by a normalized value.
+				If the [code]from[/code] and [code]to[/code] arguments are of type [int] or [float], the return value is a [float].
+				If both are of the same vector type ([Vector2], [Vector3] or [Color]), the return value will be of the same type ([code]lerp[/code] then calls the vector type's [code]linear_interpolate[/code] method).
