Point<T> operator *(
num factor
)

Scale this point by factor as if it were a vector.

Important Note: This function accepts a num as its argument only so that you can scale Point<double> objects by an int factor. Because the star operator always returns the same type of Point that originally called it, passing in a double factor on a Point<int> causes a runtime error in checked mode.
