  Greg, it's off-topic when people argue a point for the argument's
sake. It's not a real discussion, as the same points are brought up
again and again. It's a request to conserve server resources, but people
are free to post as they see fit. Let me know when a consensus is
reached in this thread, okay? ;)

  Please remember that the number of participants on this news server
make up only a small percentage of people who download and use POV-Ray.
When a feature is implemented and a debate results, both the TAG and
POV-Team may have to answer support questions by e-mail, which is much
more time consuming than responses to news server queries. Frankly, if
problems with the use of the power operator in the 3.5 beta were to
generate a proportional response from the outside POV-Ray community, we
wouldn't have the time to deal with it.

  I personally *liked* using the hat operator, but I could easily see
the problems it caused early on for some.
