The Scale GUI interface currently changes the scaling factor of image-based
elements, and does nothing with primitive elements, since the scaling factor
does not affect their size (the size of primitives is controlled by the
endpoint coordinate). It would be a lot more convenient, though, if we could
resize primitives. This could be done by simply changing the endpoint rather
than calculating and applying a new scaling factor.
Potentially something similar could be done with a typed command, e.g.:
CHANGE ENDPOINT TO (120, 20)
The difficulty here is that Inform can't understand two values (the numbers in
the coordinate). This could potentially be hacked around by defining a new kind
of value whose expression would be two numbers.
