Hi there!

I already posted this into the unofficial patches section but I think it fits
better here. But I don't want to open a new thread.

In short:

I would very much like the ability to include external functions (DLLs/SOs) as
user defined functions.

In addition, a new function object (besides isosurface and parametric) can be
created. Povray hands start point and direction vector of a ray to a function
and the function returns the point of intersection with the object (and maybe
the slope).

Peas out!
