  That's why it should be an internal function. The current implementation
is more a hack, and it's very inefficient.
  I wouldn't be surprised if it was made an internal function some time
in the future. :)

  By the way, the problem with your "solution" is that if you call
Parse_String a million times in a loop, you can imagine what happens...

-- 
#macro N(D)#if(D>99)cylinder{M()#local D=div(D,104);M().5,2pigment{rgb M()}}
N(D)#end#end#macro M()<mod(D,13)-6mod(div(D,13)8)-3,10>#end blob{
N(11117333955)N(4254934330)N(3900569407)N(7382340)N(3358)N(970)}//  - Warp -
