There was some talk of wanting to at least allow different languages in the
comments. The main problem is that the text display is fairly isolated, whereas
the parsing is more of all over. Given that the Unicode patch was my first
effort to mess with POV-Ray code, I'm not up to speed on wholesale changes.

Of course since at least one member of the POV-Ray team had been asking me about
this, I might try to look into it if there are actuall people who want to use
it.
