As far as I know, it does. That's why I implemented the feature in
Octave. But it is not and has never been the default behavior for
Octave. The scaling only happens if you have the built-in variable
fixed_point_format set to a nonzero value (which will also happen if
you start Octave with either the --traditional or --braindead option).
