I had briefly considered writing to a file and then including it, but 
didn't think it would work in all cases, because including a file or 
calling a macro doesn't do a direct copy and paste...can you use it in 
macro parameters?
That macro is a great way of getting it done now, but a built-in feature 
wouldn't leave that temporary file hanging around...a minor 
inconvenience, but annoying, especially if it conflicts with another 
file, though that isn't likely...maybe something like "identinc.tmp" 
would be better.

Anyway, another potential addition for the macros to be included with 
POV 3.5, don't you think? It's going in my personal collection...
