Box re-scaling via PDF transformation matrix:
\scalebox[xratio=<number>, yratio=<number>]{<content>}
Rationale
Both @ctrlcctrlv and @alerque in the above-mentioned issue said it should be proposed to the core distribution... So here it is, basic logic extracted from textsubsuper.sile and re-vamped as as standalone package.
Caveats
The first series of lines just demonstrate the basic feature. The second series ensures line stretching/shrinking is correctly applied. The very last line is just for the show.
Example code attached as .txt so it can be uploaded here:
