and another request, in connection with previous post - keyword ignore
that can be added to any object. It will 'kill' the object.

Why ? 
Simple - it's very usefull while i.e. 'debugging' scene - if I have object 
long at 100 lines like :
difference { ... union { ... } merge { ... union { ... } 
  ...
  ignore
} 
addning / removing "ignore" is much faster then commenting all 100 lines or 
putting them into  #if (0) ... #end


Why connection with no "()" macros ? because creating ignore keyword can be 
done in POV already :
  #macro ignore() translate 1e50 #end
  (this will work for most objects)
But it must be used as :
  object { ... ignore() }   instead of :
  object { ... ignore }
(without no-()-macros syntax)
