I was wondering if there is a way add a counter to check parse times with. I
would like to know how long it takes to parse from point A to point B,
informing myself via #debug, like so:

#declare A = parse_time;
#debug "Parsing hf.png...\n"
#declare M = height_field {png "hf2.png" smooth}
#declare B = parse_time;
#debug concat("Done...parse time for hf.png: ",str(B-A,0,5),\n")

"parse_time" represents the variable that tells us how long POV-Ray has been
parsing until that point in the file. It should be measured in seconds and
their fractions.

Any ideas, oh brilliant programmers?
