st: key symbol size in legend

[Stas Kolenikov <skolenik@gmail.com>]

Is there any way to control how large the symbols are in legends? Consider

sysuse auto, clear
scatter mpg trunk weight [aw=price] , ms(Oh Dh) msize(small small)

Now I am not liking the size of the symbols in the legend, and want to
make them a tad larger. I go to the help file, which suggests
-symysize()- and -symxsize()- options:

scatter mpg trunk weight [aw=price] , ms(Oh Dh) msize(small small)
legend( symysize(20) symxsize(30)  )

Well, nothing apparently happens, so I -forcesize- them to work:

scatter mpg trunk weight [aw=price] , ms(Oh Dh) msize(small small)
legend( symysize(20) symxsize(30) forcesize )

Instead of the symbols getting larger, the white space in the legend
gets larger. Hm... any suggestions?
