The imperative nature, plus the current syntax for object (and 
texture/pattern/et al) creation.

Ie, we DON'T need

new SDL.Object.Sphere {
  Radius: 4.0f;
  Center: new SDL.Unit.Vector3(4.5f,1.5,3.0f);
  Texture: new SDL.Pattern.Texture {
   Pigment: new SDL.Pattern.Pigment {
    Pattern: SDL.Pattern.Predefined.Solid;
    Color: new SDL.Unit.Vector3(1.0f,0.5f,0.0f);
   }
  }
}

when we can do

sphere {<4.5,1.5,3>, 4 pigment {color rgb <1,.5,0>}]

It depends if you see those values as parameters or variables.
