Specifying an untransformed object identifier without the wrapper used
to be legal in POV-Ray 3.0, and I actually used it in a few sample
scenes for various include files.  When I started testing the files in
the early 3.1 beta versions, though, POV-Ray would give a fatal message
about a "lone R-Value".  Obviously, somewhere along the way this was
changed back to the previous flexibility... ours not to wonder why?!
