From a preprocessor perspective,
   #for(init, test, increment)
      ...
   #end
would be changed to
   init
   #while (test)
      ...
      increment
   #end
but I don't know how easily that applies to POV parsing, probably not at
all.

Yeah! No typing '#local' anymore! I'll probably do it anyway...
