I guess some time earlier someone would try to develop some script to 
compress POV-syntax :) Could be an interesting job: While some stuff is 
trivial (e.g. spaces between vectors etc.) some are more advanced 
(shorten identifier and variable names) and some are really tough (real 
optimisation, like checking wether using an identifier or simply the 
numbers for a number occuring more than once is shorter).

But yes, it would look cool!
