I'm wondering if I should change all the "scaler" arguments to something else. I used "scaler" decades ago because I didn't like the spelling "scalar". According to the OED, "scalar" goes back to the 17th century, and derives from "scala", a ladder, ultimately from Latin. "scaler" is also old, and
refers to one who scales a mountain or a fish.  Well, I still
like "scaler" better!  "gain" looks like an escapee from the EE lab.
"volume" is too specific.  Maybe "scl" or "*"?
