  Why is this obsession about "if there's an extra feature, everyone must
learn it and use it"?
  If there is a feature, you DON'T HAVE TO USE IT if you don't want to.
However it's good it is there in case someone more advanced wants to use
it and take whole advantage of the language.

  I'm just wondering about this obsession. "For-loops in povray would just
make the syntax more complicated", "+= operators would just save some
characters", "do-until-loops are not needed since we have while-loops",
"classes will make CSDL too complicated", and so on and so on.
  It's like adding a new feature to the syntax would require everyone to
learn it.

  Perhaps a set of C++-libraries to make easier to create pov-files would be
good.
