If you're going to make modifications why not rename scaleBy: to scaledBy:
as the receiver does not get scaled but answers itself scaled by aScale.
Same for transformBy:. That would be nice standards. Just this week a
trainee was completely confused by this. She expected the object to scale
but found nothing happened. After I explained the 'name' bug she looked a
bit funny at me...
