But then POV-Ray would need to examine the
vector function in order to make sure that
it does not represent a non-linear trans-
formation.

And if it is only allowed to be a linear
transformation, then I think that it will
only be useful within isosurfaces, pigments
and maybe patterns.

I suspect that this would not allow for new
types of transformations. It would only make
it easier to do certain transformation (that
are already possible today).


Or am I wrong about all this ?
