I need quaternion multiplication with a scalar as well. And with this
function, it'd be a kludge.

How about making a brand new rigid transform class, you get all the
expression templates, size is fixed at compile time, so auto
vectorization. It could take as inputs the existing rotationXY,
translate, angleaxis classes as arguments and convert them to it;s
internal representation.
