I want a scale arrow feature for use with the quiver function (ie, a
little arrow on the side of the plot that indicates the scale of the
arrow vectors).  This is an absolute necessity when generating figures
for publication or presentations. Right now, I have a hacked version
of quiver that can be messily and painfully used to implement a scale
arrow (by pulling the scaling factor from quiver, overlaying a
separate axis on top of the first quiver plot, drawing a single arrow
to a set scale, and labeling it with text), but it leaves much to be
desired.
