BTW, recent improvements to the scaling implementation mean that we
can experiment with a maximum width of eight digits rather than nine
by making the change below. If we want to do that in production, we
should also make some of the column headers narrower--e.g., for
user-defined supplemental reports, changing

  Curr Account
         Value

to

     Curr
  Account
    Value
