--- Scales the defined region by the given scale factor in the given anchors.
-- Scale factor vectors containing both scale up and scale down operations are
-- split into 2 different scale operations automatically.
-- Scale up operations are always performed before scale down operations to
-- preserve detail. If performance is important, you should split the scale
-- operations up manually!
-- @param	pos1		Vector	Position 1 of the defined region,
-- @param	pos2		Vector	Position 2 of the defined region.
-- @param	scale		Vector	The scale factor - as a vector - by which to scale (values between -1 and 1 are considered a scale down operation).
-- @param	anchor		Vector	The anchor to scale in - as a vector. e.g. { x = -1, y = 1, z = -1 } would mean scale in the negative x, positive y, and negative z directions.
-- @return	boolean, string|table	Whether the operation was successful or not. If not, then an error messagea as a string is also passed. If it was, then a statistics object is returned instead.
