No problem. It's moved to the "debug only" section.
I was just trying to make Cell as concise as possible. Why no Occam rule
in that case?...

Only one change not mentioned in previous mail: setting Hsize is _not_
updating trsf (I added trsf=Id in setBox, it is effectively not modified).
That way, all cross-dependences between trsf, H, refH are removed and
everything is more clear I think.

formulation.rst is updated and is now in what I'd call final shape. The
buggy paragraph on steps and scaled display is removed. Only hSize and
trsf are mentionned since they let one do all possible things the simple
way. No mention of a "reference" state.

Interesting thoughts.
I'll comment later, maybe. :)

Cheers.
