I think that definitely yes, POV-Ray should have such a feature. It is 
perfectly possible to roll your own macro to do that, but if POV-Ray is 
going the full way for proper gamma handling, it should - I'd even say 
/must/ - provide some standard procedure to do it, if only to make a 
clear statement along the lines of "yes, /this/ is the right way to deal 
with it". And I'd go as far as to say that it should work without having 
to include a particular file, so it should be a built-in language 
contruct, not just a macro.
