I still wonder why all these limitations in povray. String literals
limited to 256 characters (or 125 or whatever), nested #includes
limited to about 10, recursive #macros limited to something, number
of parameters to a #macro limited to some number...
  Why?
  It should be very easy to parse a string literal without length limitations
(compilers do). Just count the number of characters, allocate that amount
of memory and copy it there.
  Unlimited #macro recursion and nested #includes should also be possible
(although for some strange reason most compilers have also a nested
#include limit; but afaik there's no limit for recursive macros). Just
make a stack data structure.
  The parameters to a #macro could be a list.

  There's no limitation for number of objects, triangles in a mesh, etc.
Why there should be limitation in this kind of things?
