It's worth double-checking with @holdenk and @dbtsai. I think this is
working as intended since `WeightedLeastSquares` does show multiplying each
feature by sigma. To undo it you'd need to divide the partial gradient by its
square, and divide the squared coefficient value by its square too in the loss
term.
I suppose the logic is that features on a larger scale end up with small
coefficients and aren't penalized much in the loss function, so multiplying
them by their "scale" compensates. I think this only makes sense when fitting
an intercept too, but I haven't thought this through.
