I agree, now we just need to configure our newsreaders for automatic
execution of signatures (of couse the same would be possible for c-code
too)

I'm still not totally sure how it works, but it seems quite flexible. 
Maybe you could write a nice tutorial about compact pov coding...

BTW, for the price of two more characters you could bring in some color:

#local D=array[6]{11117333955,7382340,3358,3900569407,970,4254934330}
#local I=0;#macro M()<mod(D[I],13)-6,mod(div(D[I],13),8)-3,10>#end
#while(I<6)cylinder{M()#local D[I]=div(D[I],104);M().1
pigment{rgb M()}}#local I=(D[I]>99?I:I+1);#end
