may I throw in my $.02 on this?

do you know the haskell (funcitonal) programming language?


they use a indentation rule to figure out when a statement belongs to 
a block. As long as you indent new lines more than the line that 
started the block, the compiler knows you want to stay within that 
block. As soon as you indent lesser, it adds a implicit "}".
Works great.

For povray SDL this whould mean:

object sphere
   <0 0 1> 1.0
   texture
      pigment colour rgb(1, 1, 0)
      finish ambient 0.2
             diffuse 0.6
             metallic

camera location <0 0 0>
        look_at <0 0 1>
