An identity matrix is a diagonal matrix with all its diagonal elements equal to 1, and zeroes everywhere else.
But in Odin, all diagonal elements are equal to a scalar value, not to 1. Such matrices are called diagonal and are a more general case of the identity matrix.
But a scaled diagonal matrix does not imply that the diagonal entries are the same value, which is the intention of the comment. Thanks for the PR but I think we'll keep the language as-is.
