Given a spline defined "earlier" in a section of SDL,  can the SDL tell you
anything about it: say number of segments??

There is no way to get this information in the official version. Someone 
is working on a patch adding this functionality, but I do no know if it 
has been released yet.

From the MegaPOV docs:

SPLINE_USAGE:
  SPLINE_EVALUATION | SPLINE_MEASUREMENT | SPLINE_ENTRY

SPLINE_EVALUATION:
  #declare Spline_Value = MySpline(Val);
  #declare Spline_Value = MySpline(Val, SPLINE_TYPE);

SPLINE_MEASUREMENT:
  #declare Number_Of_Entries = dimension_size( MySpline );

SPLINE_ENTRY:
  #declare Float_Time_Parameter = MySpline[ Counter ][ 0 ];
  #declare Vector_Value_Of_Entry = MySpline[ Counter ][ 1 ];

By this you're saying it was in 0.7 but dropped for 3.5?

No. It's in MegaPOV 1.0, based on POV-Ray 3.5.
