COMMENT
Four helpful hints:

1) before calling scale_connection_coef, one must call some NEURON
function (such as ri(x)) that forces calculation of all the connection
coefficients for all the sections.

2) if any diam or L is changed, then one must re-call the
scale_connection_coef procedure again for all compartments AFTER
re-forcing the normal calculation of them via a call to, e.g. ri(x).

3) note that ri(0.5) gives the resistance in mega ohms between 0.5
location and the 0 end and ri(1) gives the resistance in mega ohms
between the 0.5 location and the 1 end.

4) Call with a section access'ed.  Call below with (1,factor) to
change the axial resistance of (a parent's) x=0.5 to x=1 part and call
with (0.5, factor) to change the axial resistance for (a child's) x=0
to x=0.5 part.  Note: factor = current_ri_value/desired__ri_value.
