I agree.  Plus, it would remove ambiguity in the case of layered textures,
which currently can cause problems:

 object {
    My_Object
  #declare Layered_Examp =
    texture {T1}
    texture {T2}
    texture {T3}
  }

Are textures T2 & T3 part of Layered_Examp or are they two textures in
the object?  Probably in the docs somewhere, but I can't find it now.
(yes, that code was modified from examples in the POV documentation)
