Would it be helpful to establish a way to view the 'usage text' of a macro
without having to load its entire include file into an editor?

One solution would be to require a

    #declare foo_usage = 'string literal'
        for each
    #macro foo( 'parameters' )

in every standardized include.
One draw-back to this approach though, is the current 256-character limit.

Some sort of 'usage protocol' would be helpful in the development of
specialized POV-Ray editors too.
