Even though it's not what you would prefer, I would strongly urge you to 
reconsider and try to learn to think in terms of the left-handed default 
coords of POV-Ray.  After all, this is the default that all other Povers 
use.  And continuing to try to force POV-Ray into RH-coords will make it 
difficult for you to follow other's code or for them to read yours -- as 
well as being inconvenient to code.

Yes, you should worry about it.  If you don't make the effort now I 
expect it will be much harder for you later.  Sure, it'll be a 
brain-twisting-wrench, but in the long term it's bound to be advantageous.

Just a suggestion, of course, but please consider it.
