To follow the discussion in p.b.programming (Re: An updated povr tarball
for Unix/Linux. f6b1c13e),

first attempt at having a warp to make an hyperbolic projection (the
poincaré disc)

It probably needs more controls as so far: the disc is at origin, unit
radius, in the x-y plane.

I believe it needs:
* to be moveable
* to be sizeable
* to be orientable

And maybe, it needs also to be able to be cut before reaching the
radius. And have a scaling factor between inside & outside. And maybe
also some rotation (along the axis above) ?

I give up on moveable, orientable and rotation: there is already a warp
for that.
I did not find a suitable term to specify a cut before the horizon either.

so it resumes to :

warp{ disc [radius FLOAT] [scale FLOAT] }
