  As Peter has stated, the 'hat' operator was implemented during the
beta-testing period in 3.5, but was dropped, IIRC, due to extensive
discussions (arguments) about operator precedence without reaching a
definitive conclusion.

  If a new discussion about this topic begins, kindly set followups to
povray.off-topic, TIA. If a consensus is reached in that group, I will
be aware of it ;)
