  This is a bad thing in my opinion.
  Usually you expect that this:


#include "MyObject.inc"
camera { location <0,1,2> look_at 0 }
light_source { <10,20,-30>, 1}
object { MyObject }


and this:


#include "MyObject.inc"
camera { location <0,1,2>*10 look_at 0 }
light_source { <10,20,-30>*10, 1}
object { MyObject scale 10}


would give you identical results. That is, the scale of the whole scene
does not affect the result.
  However, if 'MyObject' contains media, the result will not be identical.

  In my opinion the 'scale 10' should scale the density as well so that
you really get the same result.
