POV treats it as a scalar function with no arguments.  I get an
error when I try to assign to it.

I'll include just about anything in the superpatch, as long as it
doesn't conflict with something else that's either already included
or otherwise available, in which case I'll have to decide which one
to include so as not to make a total mess.

I don't speak for the POV-Team, so I can't say for sure, but I'd 
guess patched 3.1 sources would be far more useful.  There were 
some fairly large changes between the two (Believe me - I had to 
merge the 3.1 sources into the superpatch as "just another patch 
to 3.02."  It took several hours.)
