Looks interesting.  The idea of using a simple C/C++ like language with more
abstract data types and then translate to plain C/C++ is really powerful.

Using your idea together with "full" function support in POV-Ray 4.0 * might
i.e. allow to develop POV-Ray source code (like new objects) in POV-Ray
itself and then just run it through a C/C++ converter to generate fast code
after everything has been debugged.  This could speed up the development
cycle and the rewrite in general...

* Just mentioning it, I don't want to get into any discussion about 4.0!
