This has been an idea for years for the hypothetical new SDL that POV-Ray
might get some day. (The idea is for the SDL to be redesigned so that,
while being at least as easy to use as the current SDL, it additionally
supports all kinds of features that would make an expressive and powerful
scripting language where doing things like making an input file parser
would be much easier than with the current SDL. Also, it would be a lot
faster than the current SDL, as it would optimally be byte-compiled.)

The current SDL is far from being optimal for that task.
