Sounds like an excellent way of making povray more powerful without breaking the
old syntax.

I also think your philosophy is purely correct about erring on the side of
giving it more power. Giving povray a military-grade RNG may prevent some jerk,
five years from now, from complaining that it doesn't have such a quality RNG.

I sometimes wonder if there were a debate about giving us powerful tools like
the trace() function.  I could imagine someone saying, "povray is a raytracer,
not a modeler", so why would you give it functions that are properly handled in
the modeling software?
