#' @title Multiple scaling -- the disjoint way
#'
#' @description \code{disjoint()} returns a multiple, disjointedly scaled
#' version of the specified data frame. This so called \code{msdf} sets up the
#' building block for further analysis with \code{overlap()} (type
#' \code{?overlap}).
#'
#' @param df a data frame (with more than two items and unique, non-\code{NA}
#' column names).
#'
#' @param mrit_min a numeric constant of length 1 to specify the marginal
#' corrected item-total correlation. Its value is in the range of 0-1. The
#' default is set to \code{.3}.
#'
#' @param negative_too a logical constant indicating whether reversed items are
#' included in the analysis. The default is set to \code{FALSE}.
#'
#' @param sclvals a numeric vector of length 2 indicating the start- and
#' endpoint of a scale. Use something like \code{c(min,max)}.
#'
#' @param use an optional string to specify how missing values enter the
#' analysis. See \code{use} in \code{\link[stats]{cor}} for details. The
#' default is set to \code{pairwise.complete.obs}.
#'
#' @details \code{use} clarifies how to set up a correlation matrix in the
#' presence of missing values. In a typical scaling process this happens at
#' least twice. First, when determining the core items (the two items in the
#' correlation matrix with the highest linear relationship). Second, when an
#' item is proposed for an emerging scale.
#'
#' Note that \code{disjoint()} uses \code{\link[stats]{cor}}'s default method
#' \code{pearson}.
#'
#' @return A multiple scaled data frame (\code{msdf}).
