Oh no!  TOTAL chaos now! (heh heh)

BTW, that's a really nice animation. I had not seen that particular page; thanks
for posting the link. (I need to revisit your website--LOTS of fascinating and
useful stuff there. Over the years, I've learned *many* POV-Ray tips and tricks
from all of it.)

A few years ago, CLipka posted some well-annotated SDL code for dispersion to
the TINA-CHeP forums:

   http://tinachepforum.forumup.co.uk/about8-tinachepforum.html

If he is willing, I'd love to see that as a standard include file.

You might want to have a look at your POV-Ray 3.7 standard include 
directory - keep your eyes peeled for "ior.inc" ;-)

I think that it will become one of my favourite includes.

I do not think this has been forgotten yet. Damn procrastination.

Typical.  I come up with an idea, and someone else has already thought of it.
:-P

That is the only file added since version 3.5 (so far), although the byte counts
on some of the .inc files have changed.

Not really /new/: "last updated: 2010.12.12"  ;-)

How about adding this line to consts.inc:

  #declare tau = 2 * pi;

In 4.0, this can be replaced with a built-in variable.

this does not seem yet to be an universal value:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tau

there is 2*pi, but also the golden ratio [ (1+sqrt(5))/2 ]

What's wrong so far with 2*pi ?
