: PS: PovRAY 3.5 : It's not a bug, it's a feature. 

  People really don't know what is a bug.
  It's very annoying that people keep sending "I don't like the way this
works"-messages as bug reports.
  Bugs are programming mistakes. Something should work this way but it
doesn't because the programmer made a mistake while typing the code. Bugs
cause a behaviour which is completely unintentional and different from
the meant behaviour (like the average normal bug). Sometimes a bug is just
the lack of a feature because somebody just forgot that (like the #local
with same name but different type as the #declare).
  If something doesn't work the way you like, it doesn't mean it's a bug.
If you don't like that planes are solid instead of hollow 2D sheets (and
you keep getting the "camera inside non-hollow object" warning), that does
not mean that it's a bug. (Actually planes _have_ to work that way or they
will not work in CSG anymore.) Sendig a _bug_ report about this is extremely
stupid.
