Hey, it's great to have the final Pov 3.5 but there's a minor surprise here:

#declare f_pattern=function { 1 };
#declare Access_Violation=function { pow( f_pattern(x,y,z), 3,5 ) };


It doesn't work and it shouldn't work, because I by mistake put 3 parameters
in pow() instead of 2 but it causes an access violation... Perhaps it's not
worth to mention such a small bug, but I understand you don't want these
things to happen.. I'm sorry if it's a known issue already, but a search
didn't reveal it.

Best regards,
Hugo
