All valid and correct reasons. For the very same reasons I started to
implement my patch (i.e. support for RenderMan shaders). Only possible
downsize of such approact is the fact that it is slower during parsing
and rendering. But computers are now quite powerful, so flexibility of
software outweights longer run times. (This could be seen in growing
popularity of various scripting languages).
