[ublas] scalar_vector doesn't support assignment of value types?

am I correct that the scalar_vector does not support the assignement 
operator for value types?

in other words, it seems I can't do the following:

    scalar_vector<double> someScalarVector(3,2.0);
    someScalarVector = 3;

Was this a design decision?  May I ask the reasoning behind it?  I would 
think the above usage would be quite useful.  Is there another method in 
mind for the above behavior?  The only thing I can see from the 
documenation woudl be to create a temporary scalar_vector and assign this...

Is there a reason why the following addition would be a bad idea?
  
 BOOST_UBLAS_INLINE
        scalar_vector &assign_temporary (scalar_vector &v) {
            swap (v);
            return *this;
        }

Thanks for your time and attention.
