Thanks Warp & Jan.
My problem is with the "optional". I'm used to work with programming languages,
and parameter separators are mandatory in every language I know. I wish they
were in POV-Ray too.
(You may argument that I'm free to write the commas, but you know how it goes:
you learn POV-Ray by reading existing code...)
