I meant to hint ironically at a funny typo ("I will be scaled..."), I'm
sorry this didn't come through right. No nitpicking intended.
I'm completely OK with the current situation (not that my opinion would
matter anyway), even with the naming (preferring shortness over
conciseness). I didn't object the scale dependence, I was just
surprised, remembering a patch by me which was refused due to scale
issues (division of lengths, I think it's even in now).
OK, that's it from me about tangents, promised ;)
