What practical purpose does Pov's non-fatal error messages serve.
Example using the new syntax of 3.1:

wrong  #delclare Red =  rgb<1,0,0>
correct #delclare Red =  rgb<1,0,0>;


Notice the missing ";" ?
Without the semicolon an error is reported stated "all declared float ..."
    My argument is if the syntax does not actually affect the outcome
of the desired feature why report it as an error at all ?
I'm not knocking it, nor am I asking for a change, I am only seeking
clarification on this issue.
