Wouldn't it make more sense to define it as stretching the image to
fill the screen, rather than defining it as strething by 6/5?  I.e. if
an engine (hypothetically) opens a screen of 320:192, wouldn't it be
better to stretch it by 5/4 than 6/5?

Ok.  But why does it replace the name "default" with "2x"?  I have
only a single mode called "default".  I have no mode called "2x".
