 Construct a linear map object, either from an existing `LinearMap` or `AbstractMatrix` `A`,
 with the purpose of redefining its properties via the keyword arguments `kwargs`;
-a `UniformScaling` object `J` with specified (square) dimension `M`; or
+a `UniformScaling` object `J` with specified (square) dimension `M`; from a `Number`
+object to lazily represent filled matrices; or
 from a function or callable object `f`. In the latter case, one also needs to specify
 the size of the equivalent matrix representation `(M, N)`, i.e., for functions `f` acting
 on length `N` vectors and producing length `M` vectors (with default value `N=M`).
