Ok, supose the next scene: One cube, one sphere and one cylinder.

Objects version -> the format usually used by programs which can convert to
povray. Every object in the scene is represented by a mesh2 structure.

//cube
mesh2{
  vertexs 8
  faces 12
  ..
}

//sphere
mesh2{
  vertexs 50
  faces 70
  ..
}

//cylinder
mesh2{
  vertexs 30
  faces 50
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------

Triangles (Faces) version -> Each mesh2 in the scene is just one face

union{
  mesh2{
    vertexs 3
    faces 1
  }

  mesh2{
    vertexs 3
    faces 1
  }
  [..]

  //Total number of faces (mesh2) in this union = 12 + 70 + 50
                                              (cube + sphere + cylinder)
}

Well, now that "objects" have been clarified as mesh, I just stand
corrected. Both are bullshit.
