: Like a point light-source?

  A point light-source has no dimensions, while a camera has.

  If a scale command in the union only changes the location of the camera,
then it would be contradictory to what happens if the same scale command
is inside the camera statement.
  If the scale command in the union affects the camera in the same way as
if it was inside the camera-statement (ie. the camera geometry is changed
accordingly), that may not be what people usually want.

  So it's not such a trivial question.
