We don't really from a language standpoint, but if you (like me) want to 
write a truly OO language then it would be truly useful.

It would be more efficient to use an OO language to send stuff directly 
to the rendering engine rather than translate it all to SDL and then 
parse it back to objects again 0.001 seconds later.  You have to know 
that once POV parses your script, it is somehow becoming OO in the 
bowels of the renderer.

That's cool but I want more.  I want to monkey with POV's brains! Mwahahaha!
