And I remembered reading about the mirror trick, but when I needed it
I couldn't remember where.  So I went out and paid like $40 for a book
on algebra, found out what an "identity matrix" is, deduced from there
how to use it to mirror, and was feeling pretty gall-darned proud of 
myself until you through the mirror trick back at me a week or two ago!

Sorry, if I had known, I wouldn't have said anything. :)

I did wonder why you went to the trouble of defining a transform, but 
figured, that you just found your "reverse" form more readable.

If it makes you fell an better, I had to be told too. I would never have 
thought of scaling by a negative value, by myself. Perhaps it should be 
put in the documentation.

Wow... I scored 6, half of which are because I wrote a dispersion jitter 
patch which I STILL haven't managed to release yet...

Whoops, "Read the rest of this message" in the web view. Looks like I 
scored 14 instead. Yay!
