[Nexus] proposed additions to NXdata for non-linear scaling - to aid cbf interoperability

[yayahjb]

Having python, or something equivalent, available is a nice convenience 
and a good, portable
way to document the algorithms that are used in many setups.  
Performance way well dictate
using hand-tooled C or C++ code in practice, but that higher performance 
code is more likely
to be right with a python or similar example available.  Think of it as 
particularly effective
documentation.
