Fun fact to know: POV-Ray (post-3.7.0) should be fine with more than 256
entries in a whatever_map.

You mean an official /release/ version?

Can't say. That'll be up to Chris Cason.

I for one consider POV-Ray an ongoing work in progress anyway, now that
it's on GitHub. Whatever is in the "master" branch should be good enough

By the way, you can avoid the warning messages by deleting 'rgb' before 
eval_pigment () in the macro.

Thanks much Norbert! I pulled your scene file today and took a look. A 
useful technique. Thanks for re-discovering, enhancing and posting the
