I think we can remove it but we need to let the users know they need to 
set up ts_?tol accordingly - perhaps in TSSetTolerances(). I liked IS 
because it was explicit for the users, but I agree it's probably an 
unnecessary overhead. The other reason I liked it -- that probably has 
an obvious workaround which eludes me at the moment -- was that one can 
control the diff var tolerance from the command line (specify the scalar 
tol) because one cannot control individual components from the command 
line, right?
