Geoffrey,
    Cool! Somehow I missed that.

If the list of scale factors are expanded as Jonathan requests, it would
probably be best to make the two lists distinct as I believe very few
people know y, z, Y, or Z. Even E and P are dubious. The idea being that
the language would accept all as input but only output the most common ones.
