The following code produces the parse error
'Expected 'fractal keyword', float function 'tan' found instead.

According to the docs (6.5.1.6) tan is a valid function for julia fractals
all the other trig functions (sin, cos, asin, acos, sinh, cosh, asinh,
acosh, tanh,
atan and atanh) work fine

julia_fractal {
   <-0.1,-0.2,-1,-0.025>
   hypercomplex
   tan
   max_iteration 7
   precision 20
   pigment {rgb <0,0,1>}
  }

The same error message is given with the example above in POV-Ray v3.1g
as well.

here are tokens cosidered in Parse_Julia_Fractal in 3.1g

EXP_TOKEN
LOG_TOKEN
SIN_TOKEN
ASIN_TOKEN
COS_TOKEN
ACOS_TOKEN
ATAN_TOKEN
COSH_TOKEN
SINH_TOKEN
TANH_TOKEN
ATANH_TOKEN
ACOSH_TOKEN
ASINH_TOKEN
SQR_TOKEN
PWR_TOKEN
CUBE_TOKEN
RECIPROCAL_TOKEN

but TAN type is listed in fractal.c (suppose cpp also)
so probably is old cutting mistake in parse.c (cpp)

What point are you trying to make here?  That 3.1g bugs are sacrosanct and 
will never be fixed, that bugs which are present in both 3.1 and 3.5 should 
be reported in povray.bugs (and, I assume, not fixed in 3.5), or something 
else entirely?

See above. No more. No less.
