I see.  Well, in that case this would be a possible implementation; but 
I don't think we'll see this soon implemented (?), and after some work I 
think it is possible (and my current plan) to implement scalarization 
directly myself; once we have the possibility, we could of course switch 
to the new implementation as it surely makes things easier and more 
reliable.

I'm just struggling with getting this scalarization right, but it should 
work hopefully soon.

Thanks,
Daniel
