Maybe just - it would be greate to have some tutorial like :

To write new shape, go to line in file ... and write this code : ...,
nowe write intersection tests in file/line... and add new token to parser 
in line ...

Realy everyone who isn't involved in development of POV can easly get lost 
in it's huge code.

Like in example - .txt format - with file/line is opening file, closes it, 
parses it's name (and select extension), write line (or pixel - flush 
buffer) ?

#macro g(U,V)(.4*abs(sin(9*sqrt(pow(x-U,2)+pow(y-V,2))))*pow(1-min(1,(sqrt(
pow(x-U,2)+pow(y-V,2))*.3)),2)+.9)#end#macro p(c)#if(c>1)#local l=mod(c,100
);g(2*div(l,10)-8,2*mod(l,10)-8)*p(div(c,100))#else 1#end#end light_source{
