[Bf-funboard] Adding a good way to scale something to 0

[Hadrien Brissaud]

My bad, I thought it came from the committers list.
I feel free to contribute then : scale to zero and check what that does in
the log :
bpy.ops.transform.resize(value=(0, 1, 1), constraint_axis=(True, False,
False), constraint_orientation='GLOBAL', mirror=False,
proportional='DISABLED', proportional_edit_falloff='SMOOTH',
proportional_size=1)
You can bind this to a pie menu with three entries, changing the tuple in
the middle to "False, True, False" and "False, False, True" so as to scale
on y and z respectively. Then bind the pie to a shortcut in preferences.
Double s should work I guess ?
