Yes, I'd definitely like to see this feature as well.

I agree that it would be better (that is, 'useful more quickly') to integrate it
into 3.7 rather than 4--which is *somewhere* off in the somewhat-distant future.
IMO, the idea of waiting to integrate features into a 'bigger POV-Ray re-write'
is somewhat hamstringing the usefulness of the program in the here-and-now. (I
kind of feel that way about the 3.7 betas, vs. something like an intermediary
3.6.5 version that could have fixed a few smaller issues more quickly--but
that's a moot point, of course. No real complaints here.)
