Multiplies each point of the first argument by the second
<code class="type">point</code> (treating a point as being a complex number
represented by real and imaginary parts, and performing standard
complex multiplication). If one interprets
the second <code class="type">point</code> as a vector, this is equivalent to
scaling the object's size and distance from the origin by the length

the vector's angle from the <em class="replaceable"><code>x</code></em> axis.

It is possible to access the two component numbers of a <code class="type">point</code>
as though the point were an array with indexes 0 and 1. For example, if
<code class="literal">t.p</code> is a <code class="type">point</code> column then
<code class="literal">SELECT p[0] FROM t</code> retrieves the X coordinate and
<code class="literal">UPDATE t SET p[1] = ...</code> changes the Y coordinate.
In the same way, a value of type <code class="type">box</code> or <code class="type">lseg</code> can be treated
as an array of two <code class="type">point</code> values.
