A)
I like being able to say
   camera { look_at 0
when I really mean:
   camera { look_at <0,0,0>

B)
I don't like pov accepting in expressions
    #declare a=0.1^0.5+0.1^x;
    #declare b=0.1^0.5+0.1*x;
    #declare c=0.1^0.5+x^<2,5,3>;

It's possible that this is impossible to "fix" B) without ruining A), or that
B). It's possible that B) is also "correct math." But it bugs me, I must
respectfully insist.
