I didn't say I wanted it as a default. Just as an option. You don't use 
a feature unless you know what to expect, and the docs would give plenty 
of warning about using high subdivision values.

But, after reading Warp's reply, I think this would be better as a 
library a person could aquire, if POV supports core scripting in the future.

It would be akin to making a 3-dimensional loop with thousands (or 
millions) of objects. It would be easier to screw up, but the impact 
would be the same.
