Not sure if this is a bug in pov or the docs (or possibly my brain).

The docs (6.1.5.5) say:

"For example...
color My_Color red 0.5
this substitutes whatever was the red component of My_Color with a red component
of 0.5 however...
color My_Color + red 0.5
adds 0.5 to the red component of My_Color"


But the following scene-file seems to contradict this:

#version 3.5;

#declare ColTest1 = rgb<1,1,0>;
#declare ColTest2 = rgb<0,1,1>;

//legal
#declare Foo = ColTest1 + ColTest2;

//not legal
#declare Foo = ColTest1 ColTest2;
#declare Foo = ColTest1 + blue 1;
#declare Foo = ColTest1 blue 1;

Any comment as to whether I should post to bugs, docs, or what?
