Both are in wide use when modeling meshes, but have not suitable application
to any other primitive POV-Ray supports. POV-Ray meshes already support
arbitrary normals, and you can easily create meshes with any level of
detail, making displacement mapping completely obsolete (except that a
displacement mapping could make parsing meshes a tiny bit faster). Hence
neither of these features needs to be added, they are already supported.
