I am cleaning up a few pieces of my DSE library and I realized I am still overriding scale to make it generic with the base version as the default. I use scale methods for data objects which are not simple matrices. Could scale in the base be made generic?

Martin> Is it okay to require the center and scale argument for all methods? Unfortunately, no, not the way I have used it. (One of the ways I use it is for a structure called TSdata that has two data matrices. I eventually call the default with a center and scale for each matrix, but the original call is scale(x, scale), where scale is a list with a center and scale value for each matrix.) My methods always use the argument scale, but not center.
