....or we'll all have brain cyber-implants that will take what our eyes see, turn
it into POV-Ray code, and instantly "render" a hyper-realistic version of the
world--because *reality* won't be real-enough for us by then!  heh heh

But seriously:  It has taken *however-many-years* to get POV into its present
(and still imperfect) state; the effort required to make such a change would
probably be better-spent elsewhere.
