Btw, how about adding some shorten forms for long and often used keywords, 
it could spedd up typing and comforable level of hand-typing .pov code, 
like

light { y*10 rgb 1 }
diff {
  box { -5, +5 }
  sphere { 0 10 }
  text { 
  pig { bozo cmap{0:<1,0,0> .5:<1,1,0> 1:1} } 
  norm{ bozo .5 }  
  fin { refl .5 phong 0.5,70 spec 0.1,0.06 }
}

?

Aliasing keyword is probably easy, another format of for example color_map 
perhaps not so much.

Just an idea.
