Hello!

While reusing some MegaPov mesh in Pov 3.5 RC6, there sneaked an
"inside_vector" in my code. No warning and no error message. Is it still
allowed? I couldn't find anything in the docs about it. Codemax highlights
it as a keyword.

Greetings,

  Test if it works. There might be some surprise there.

Yes, it is there (the parser takes it and the code is there).  No, it is
apparantly not documented.
